Japanese director Hideo Kojima is confirmed as a main attraction at BGS 2025. Responsible for classics like Metal Gear Solid and the highly anticipated Death Stranding 2, Kojima will participate in the fair on October 11th and 12th. His presence includes panels, interviews, and sessions with the public.

- Kojima talks about the rejection of Death Stranding and admits the game is strange
This will be Kojima's second visit to Brazil. In 2017, he was also at BGS, even before the release of the first Death Stranding. Now, he returns with a title about to hit stores and promises to share previously unreleased details about the creative process. Tickets for the 11th and 12th are available on the event's official website.
Hideo Kojima returns to Brazil after eight years and is expected to draw crowds
Hideo Kojima last visited Brazil in 2017 when he was still keeping the first version of Death Stranding a secret. Since then, the director has maintained close contact with Brazilian fans through social media and interviews. Furthermore, his return in 2025 confirms the event's prestige and the creator's affection for the local audience.
The focus of Hideo Kojima's presence at the fair will be the promotion of Death Stranding 2 On the Beach. The game arrives on the market on June 26th and has been promoted with trailers and appearances at international events. Thus, BGS marks one of the last stops on the director's global tour before the release.
The expectation is that the Brazilian audience will get a first look at exclusive content and detailed commentary about the new game. In addition, Kojima himself is expected to present behind-the-scenes glimpses of the title's production and explain how the narrative elements were developed. The Kojima Productions team will also be present to interact with the press and visitors.
The event is expected to break records and attract international coverage
With Kojima's confirmation, the organizers of Brasil Game Show estimate a significant increase in ticket demand. In 2023, the event had already broken attendance records, and this year it hopes to surpass that previous mark. Therefore, the presence of the Japanese director should attract the attention of foreign media and once again put the event in the spotlight on the global stage.
BGS takes place between October 9th and 12th at Expo Center Norte in São Paulo. The fair's structure includes gaming areas, launch tests, championships, and brand activations. Furthermore, the organizers promise a historic edition with more international participants yet to be revealed.
Kojima reinforces the importance of Latin America in the gaming market
Hideo Kojima's visit to Brazil reinforces the appreciation of the Latin American market by major game studios. The region's audience is known for its enthusiasm and loyalty to the most established franchises. On the other hand, the choice of BGS as one of the stops on the global tour indicates that the country has consolidated itself as a strategic point for launches in the sector.
Kojima has stated in several interviews that he considers Brazil one of the countries most passionate about games and his work. Therefore, his visit in 2025 marks another chapter in this relationship with Brazilian fans. The director is expected to grant exclusive interviews to national media outlets and discuss future projects from Kojima Productions.
