During a recent celebrity Q&A video interview with WIRED, Kojima specifically named "Predator: Badlands" and the Netflix series "Ikusa-Gami" as prime candidates for video game adaptations. He stated, "I recently watched 'Predator: Badlands,' and the story feels very game-like. The whole film involves carrying Elle Fanning around. I also recently watched 'Ikusa-Gami,' and its plot has a very game-like quality. I might not be able to make them myself, but it would be really cool. I think their narratives and world-building are very suitable for games."
