- Kojima talks about rejection of Death Stranding and admits that 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 unprecedented details about the creative process. Tickets for the 11th and 12th are available on the official website of the event.

Hideo Kojima returns to Brazil after eight years and should attract crowds
Hideo Kojima last visited Brazil in 2017 when he still kept the first version of Death Stranding. Since then the director has maintained close contact with Brazilian fans through social networks and interviews. In addition, the return in 2025 confirms the prestige of the event and the affection of the creator by the local public.
The focus of the presence of Hideo Kojima at the fair will be the release of Death Stranding 2 on the Beach. The game hits the market on June 26 and has been promoted with trailers and appearances at international events. Thus, BGS marks one of the last stops of the director's global tour before launch.
The Brazilian audience is expected to see firsthand exclusive content and detailed comments about the new game. In addition, Kojima himself must be behind the scenes of the production of the title and explain how the narrative elements were developed. The Kojima Productions team will also be present to interact with the press and visitors.

Event should break records and attract international coverage
With the confirmation of Kojima the organization of Brazil Game Show estimates a significant increase in demand for tickets. By 2023 the event had already beaten records of audiences and this year hopes to overcome the previous mark. Thus, the presence of the Japanese director should attract foreign media attention and put the event again in the global scenario.
BGS takes place between October 9th and 12th at Expo Center Norte in São Paulo. The structure of the fair includes game areas, launch tests, championships and activations of brands. In addition, the organizers promise a historical edition with more unveiled international participations.
Kojima reinforces the importance of Latin America in the game market
Hideo Kojima's passage through Brazil reinforces the appreciation of the Latin American market for major game studios. The region's audience is recognized for its enthusiasm and faithfulness to the most consecrated franchises. On the other hand, the choice of BGS as one of the global tour charts indicates that the country has consolidated itself as a strategic point for industry releases.
Kojima has already stated in several interviews that he considers Brazil one of the countries most passionate about games and his work. With this, the visit in 2025 marks another chapter of this relationship with Brazilian fans. The director must grant exclusive interviews to national vehicles and comment on future projects of Kojima Productions.
