Hideo Kojima reportedly had a "strong interest" in making a Matrix game after being pitched on the idea by Lana and Lilly Wachowski, but Konami wasn't as keen.
Time Extension interviewed former vice president of licensing at Konami Digital Entertainment, Christopher Bergstresser, about a report from NextGen magazine that Hideo Kojima's team at Konami was a forerunner in developing a game based on The Matrix. Bergstresser recalled that "The Wachowskis were big fans of Kojima" and that "we got a call from the Wachowskis, who wanted to come in and meet with Kojima. So they did!"
