The legendary game director Hideo Kojima recently revealed that he was working on the game concept along the same lines as the series TV The Boysof which the third season is currently underway.
The author also admitted that he had started watching the series when it aired on Amazon Prime Video for the first time, but he then dropped it after the first three episodes.

and put it on hold because the concept was similar (different settings and tricks). A buddy (male / female) thing with a special detective squad facing off against legendary heroes behind the scenes. I was thinking of Mads as the lead.– HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) June 26, 2022
I stopped watching The Boys after three episodes of the first season, but thought I’d watch the rest of the show. I saw some episodes that came out at the time I was about to start a project that I had been preparing for a long time, but I put it on pause because the concept was similar to the TV series in question (different setting and tricks). A duo of characters (male / female) with a special team of detectives who face legendary heroes behind the scenes. I was thinking about Mads [Mikkelsen, n.d.R] as the protagonist.
The concept Hideo Kojima was working on had a different setting and focal themes from those of The Boys. It involved a male / female duo working alongside a special investigation team that faced legendary superheroes. Kojima had in mind Mads Mikkelsen for the main character of the gameactor with whom he has already collaborated in Death Stranding.
The concept in question was more like a hard-boiled action movie, without real heroes and villains and with a lot black humor. According to Kojima, the concept of this The Boys-like game showed a world view that is the opposite of what audiences are used to today.
Although the title in question did not go beyond the concept, never say never for the future. In any case, currently Hideo Kojima is working on the new Death Stranding and on a video game not yet formalized exclusively for the Xbox ecosystem.
