Sam Lake is Working with Hideo Kojima
Lately, Hideo Kojima and Remedy Entertainment creative director Sam Lake have teased a mysterious project they’re involved in at Kojima Productions.
New Project from Sam Lake and Hideo Kojima
With the release of Alan Wake 2, Remedy and Sam Lake once again returned to it’s active days. Before the release of Alan Wake 2, both director and studio gone through a lot of struggle. Thankfully these days are over and Remedy is back with their projects.
Sam Lake is Remedy’s creative director, known for writing and directing games at the studio. Lake is also very well known for being the face of Max Payne himself, as likenesses of his face were used for the titular protagonist. Sam Lake had also appeared in the first Death Stranding as a part of a series of cameos alongside other famous faces like Geoff Keighley and Japanese musician Daichi Miura. It appears that Sam Lake will be lending his image again to another Kojima Productions project.
A series of tweets by both Sam Lake and Hideo Kojima were posted online earlier this weekend, which showed the two game creators hanging out at the studio. One of these tweets posted by Lake includes a TikTok video of him having a cup of coffee while surrounded by full body scan equipment. His tweet notes that he is having the coffee after being scanned for a video game in development at Kojima Productions. Lake stated that he was honored to visit Kojima Productions and praised Hideo Kojima for the setup as well.
The tweet itself omits any details about the game that he was scanned for, meaning that Sam Lake could be involved in any of the three games fans know that are in development at the studio. Currently, Kojima Productions is working on Death Stranding 2, the Xbox Exclusive OD, and a PlayStation exclusive Metal Gear Solid competitor, Physint.
Same Lake’s role is totally mystery to us, but considering Death Stranding 2 will most likely make it’s launch in 2025, it could be cameo from first game. For now, we will wait and see what Hideo Kojima and Sam Lake will bring for us.
