As more and more series, movies, books, and video games are released, there are times when the concepts between different projects can feel similar, although there is still room for originality. This was a feeling you had Hideo Kojimawho recently revealed that one of his ideas had to be removed after the developer found some similarities between his proposal and the series of TheBoys.
Through his Twitter account, Kojima revealed that he has only seen the first three episodes of TheBoys. This is not because the Japanese developer did not like the Amazon series, but because the concept of the show was quite similar to a project he had in mind at the timeprobably in 2019. This is what he commented on it:
“The Boys, which I left after 3 episodes of Season 1. Thought I’d watch the rest of the show. In fact, I watched some episodes that were delivered at the time I was about to start a project that I had been heating up for a long time and that I put on hold because the concept was similar (different scenarios and gimmicks). Someone (male/female) with a special squad of detectives who take on legendary heroes behind the scenes. I was thinking of Mads as the lead.”
2/2
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
Outside of the revelation that Mads Mikkelsen would be the protagonist, there are no more details about this project. However, there is still the possibility of seeing this idea come true. Eric Kripke, producer and writer of TheBoyshe replied to Kojima mentioned:
“Please come make a game of The Boys. We can unite and conquer! Big fan, by the way.”
Second that notion.

This idea was replicated by Anthony Starr, an actor who plays Homelander in the series. Does this mean that a game of TheBoys directed by Hideo Kojima is already in development? No, but it is an idea that everyone interested in the series and in the developer’s work would surely like..
In related topics, here you can learn more about the project in collaboration between Kojima Productions and Xbox. Similarly, Hideo Kojima has clarified his relationship with PlayStation.
Editor’s note:
The idea of a game similar to TheBoys with Mads Mikkelsen is something that does attract attention. However, considering that Kojima Productions is working on the Xbox game, as well as several rumored projects, this idea will likely not come to fruition.
