It goes without saying that millions are already looking forward to whatever it is that the mastermind Hideo Kojima is going to work on next. Sure, Death Stranding is barely even two months old at this point (and its PC release is still due), but Kojima himself has made it clear that he’s not resting on his laurels, and is already working on coming up with a concept for whatever his next game ends up being.
Recently, he took to Twitter to speak about that some more, saying that he is reading through various books, both fiction and non-fiction, to help him come up with ideas for his next game (although he did admit that nothing that interesting has jumped out at him so far). In another tweet, he said that though he mostly comes up with ideas by doing actual research, reading books occasionally acts as as a nice secondary trigger for interesting concepts as well. Check out his tweets below.
It’s fair to say that we’re all going to be waiting to hear more about what Kojima’s got up his sleeve for his next project- whether that’s a sequel to Death Stranding, a horror game, or something else entirely.
I kinda read thru few books (non fiction and science related) for reference to my next concept building but neither of them is not really interested enough to hit me. Now I’m going back to read my hobby book.

I search books that can be used for reference by looking at the table of contents. However there’re few chances that the book gives me the answer. Surely the best way is to research on my own but that comes after I narrow the range down. First, I need to learn more expertise.
