Konami game creator Hideo Kojima has revealed his plans for a game to be developed in space. During an episode of the Koji10 podcast. The Metal Gear Solid creator expressed his desire to experience weightlessness and make a game for astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS).

According to Kojima, he would first like to get above the atmosphere and see Earth, and then experience weightlessness. He also mentioned that he would like to make a game to play in zero gravity. With controls that would need to change.

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is one of the controlling bodies of the ISS. And Kojima believes that this would be a great opportunity to develop his game.
