It’s no secret that Hideo Kojima and actor Mads Mikkelsen have a very close friendship both professionally and personally. While it seems like the Death Stranding creator can’t help but to go adorably ‘mad’ when raving about his friend’s role in his upcoming breakout IP for Kojima Productions in previous interviews, it looks like the love is very much reciprocated – at least in terms of gameplay.
Mads Mikkelsen recently sat down with the team over at TASS to talk about the game, how long it is, and what the experience will be like. Mikkelsen did his own fair share of gushing over Kojima-san by calling him the “Godfather of creating new things.”
In terms of how long the game is, the actor mentioned “It’s going to be many hours. I’ve spent two hours with it, and it blew me away. It was insane to watch where this is taking us. Not only was it mindblowing visually, but also the way it was played. It’s kind of out of the box, something we’ve never ever seen before. And I guess that’s what people expect from Hideo Kojima. He is the Godfather of creating new things.”
As for the game itself, Death Stranding is releasing just around the corner! The PlayStation 4 exclusive officially arrives on November 8th!
