Hideo Kojima (Death Stranding) wins BAFTA Awards

Nothing stops Hideo Kojima! Since the conception of Death Stranding, the famous video game designer has been talked about. This time, it's by getting a scholarship at the BAFTA Awards.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts is also interested in video games and has promoted new talent through all possible media. Hideo Kojima will therefore receive a prestigious grant from the organization on April 2, 2020 for his creativity, his artistic talents, but also for his contribution to innovating the video-game universe.

The founder of Kojima Productions will be the next to obtain this great prestige, symbol of recognition, after Tim Schafer (Psychonauts) and Shigeru Miyamoto (The Legend of Zelda)

"Thank you very much for this BAFTA award. I am very honored and would like to take this moment to reflect on the many predecessors, as I deeply respect their contribution to entertainment, whether in film, television or games. I also want to thank those who have supported me over the years and I will continue my commitment to creating new and innovative ways that will energize the world of interactive entertainment. »

Hideo Kojima

Whether you like the artist's work or not, Hideo Kojima has never left players indifferent. Whether for his famous Metal Gear Solid saga, Policenauts, the sadly canceled demo of Silents Hills (P.T) and the recent Death Stranding, expected on PC very soon.

Note that since the release of Death Stranding, the designer accumulates prices. A favorite for the 2019 Games Awards, he won three awards. Best Original Score, Best Creative Direction but also Best Performance for Mads Mikkelsen.

However, Kojima missed the Game of the Year award which was won by the inevitable… Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
