The Matrix Game That Never Happened — Kojima and the Wachowskis’ Lost Collaboration

[johnblockbuster]

According to Time Extension, the Wachowskis once approached Hideo Kojima in 1999 to create a Matrix game — but Konami rejected the proposal outright. Then–VP Christopher Bergstresser recalled the missed opportunity, calling it “a what-if moment in gaming history.” Kojima, now head of Kojima Productions, released Death Stranding 2: On the Beach in June 2025.

Imagine a Matrix game directed by Kojima and written by the Wachowskis — that could’ve changed gaming forever. 🧠

The fact this never happened feels like a missed masterpiece. Visionaries like Kojima and the Wachowskis together? Unreal potential.
