Kojima Productions' studio has had a bit of an upgrade since the last time we saw it. A while ago, we learned the company had moved into a new office building, but with the above new video, we get to tour the inside of the Japanese developer's digs. Guided by Japanese voice actor Akio Otsuka, it's kind of ridiculous.
Upon reaching the studio's floor of the skyscraper, you're greeted by an almost irresponsibly dark entryway before your retinas are scorched by a stark change to a pure white lobby. The famous Ludens statue greets you on your way in as before, but the whole space is much bigger than it used to be. Off to one side is what's described as a "drawing room", and on the opposite side is a gallery space, where Kojima's body of work is presented like a museum exhibit.
Next is a staff lounge/canteen, and it could easily be mistaken for a fancy hotel were it not for the Death Stranding merch. It leads into a hallway with various meeting rooms and other amenities before breaking out into the main work space. We then get to see the studio's movie theatre, Yoji Shinkawa's workshop, cabinets full of awards, swanky meeting rooms, dressing rooms, and recording spaces.
The minimalist design is retained from the team's previous offices, but this is a whole other level. What do you think of Kojima Productions' base of operations? Let us know in the comments section below.

Wow its stunning would love a tour
Damn..Sony must have paid good money for that timed exclusivity deal.
It's the most Kojima place I have ever seen.
I'm kinda obsessed with everything Kojima at this time. So excited about the DS2 reveal
There’s a bunch of flies in our office from a dead mouse we can’t find. So yeah. We can all brag.
How expensive is this office space?
Yes
Wow... such a superstar. Everything he touches just screams talent.
But, that first bright white room would be an instant migraine for me 😓
Plot twist...the interior is a part of the unreal 5 engine and linked to his new game...Somehow, only he can make that stuff work.
If you scream “I’m back” lights turn red.
Such a shame they can't display any MGS stuff in there. It's just a Death Stranding museum.
Maybe I just live to close to the poverty line, but all these studio tours don't look like realistic places to work. Ive worked in many offices being in IT and have never worked in any that were even close to any of these.
Watching without the sound and the commentary is just cringe. I'll just keep working from home thanks.
@JohntheRaptor For now anyways. Eventually they'll work on other brand new IPs.
