Media Molecule gets a visit from Kojima

January 25, 2016 Nyxus

Yesterday afternoon Kojima arrived in London as the next destination of his 10-day technology tour with Mark Cerny. Earlier this morning he got to try out the PlayStation VR device at Sony London Studio, and in the afternoon he took the train to Guildford, where Media Molecule is based. This studio is known for its LittleBigPlanet series and are currently working on a PlayStation 4 title called Dreams.

The collaboration Kojima is referring to is the MGSV Ground Zeroes and MGSV The Phantom Pain themed costume packs for LittleBigPlanet 3 (MGS4 had a similar LBP collaboration).

Lastly, Media Molecule posted this animated GIF on their official Twitter:
