Kojima himself seems to know that many fans are still asking for a followup, so he decided to troll them via a tweet that spelled out “PT.” This was meant to be a joke because the profile photo of thePoor ThingsTwitter account, which showed the letters “PT,” looked slightly similar to the horror game’s font.Poor Thingsis an upcoming film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, and will star Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, and Willem Dafoe.
In the replies, a number of gamers expressed their excitement over the possibleP.T.teaser. However, many seemed to know that Kojima was simply joking since they were aware of his strained relationship with Konami, but still hoped that he would push through with the horror game. Sadly, Kojima has previously said on his podcastBrain Structurethathis version ofSilent Hillwill not happen.
Despite the bad news, there are still gamers who are hoping forP.T.to become a full game under Kojima Productions. The closest they may get could be the upcoming horror gameOverdosestarring Margaret Qualley, which has yet to be revealed officially. Hopefully, the game won’t be discontinued like Kojima’s unnamed VR project.
