One of the most tragic and unexpected events of the year has been the murder of Shinzo Abe. The former Prime Minister of Japan died after being shot by Tetsuya Yamagami during an electoral act in the Japanese country. However, this delicate situation has ended up splashing Hideo Kojima himself.
The video game creator has been able to verify how several international media have confused him as the author of the murder. The most relevant confusion came from the French politician Damien Rieu, who posted pictures of Kojima assuming he was the murderer. However, from Kojima Productions they are clear about his line of action.

Kojima Productions strongly condemns the spread of fake news and rumors that convey false information. We do not tolerate such defamation and will consider taking legal action in some cases.
From the Japanese developer they have no doubt about the actions they could carry out if necessary. No kind of defamation or false news will be tolerated by the company. Although Hideo Kojima himself has not spoken directly about it, he has retweeted the publication of his own study.
Meanwhile, Hideo Kojima’s next game seems to have revealed some clues. Margaret Qualley will be involved in the project that goes by the name of Overdose, at the same time that Norman Reedus has confirmed that Death Stranding 2 is in the works.
