Hideo Kojima Discusses The Joakim Mogren Stunt
When a mysterious new title known as The Phantom Pain was revealed at the VGAs, the internet immediately suspected it of being Metal Gear Solid V. Despite the secret getting out immediately, Hideo Kojima continued with the stunt. GameTrailers' Geoff Keighley interviewed a bandaged man named Joakim Mogren, supposedly the lead designer at Moby Dick Studios. As we know now, neither Mogren or Moby Dick exist. In a new 18-minute interview, Kojima has explained the process a bit more.
