The statement comes after Hideo Kojima was falsely identified as the alleged assassin of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Kojima Productions, the studio headed by Metal Gear and Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima, publicly denounced “fake news and rumors” in a statement on social media.
The original allegations Kojima Productions may be responding to were publicized by French far-right politician Damien Rieu on July 8, 2022.
The statement was delivered by the official Twitter account of Kojima productions in Japanese and English.
