The collaboration marks a significant moment for both companies and a shared vision to push the boundaries of what's possible in interactive storytelling.

For Kojima Productions, it's a bold expansion into new forms of media beyond traditional gaming. For Niantic Spatial, it underlines the potential of geospatial AI technology to transform how people and machines understand and interact with the physical world.

“At Niantic Spatial, we're building a living model of the world that people and machines can talk to, creating a new canvas for real-world storytelling and interaction,” said John Hanke, CEO of Niantic Spatial. “We are delighted to be working with Kojima Productions to explore what our combined creativity and innovation can accomplish for new and existing fans.”
