Hideo Kojima says "no one ever told me" Konami turned down a Matrix game – but maybe there "could’ve been a way to make it work" despite Metal Gear Solid 2

Hideo Kojima speaking at Sydney Film Festival about Death Stranding 2.

Hideo Kojima has revealed he was unaware of the pitch that he would make a game based on The Matrix, despite reports that the Wachowski sisters asked him to do so directly.

Earlier this week, reports surfaced from an interview with former vice president of licensing at Konami Digital Entertainment, Christopher Bergstresser, that Lilly and Lana Wachowski pitched that Hideo Kojima make a game based on The Matrix, with a further anonymous source saying Kojima would continue to "show strong interest" despite working on Metal Gear Solid 2 at the time. However, the man himself has come out to say that he was utterly unaware that such a suggestion ever happened.
