No, Kojima Productions NFTs Aren’t Happening (At Least Not Yet)

News of a crossover between Kojima Productions and Anicorn Watch has caused confusion among fans who jumped to the conclusion that the Hideo Kojima-led company would soon be diving into the world of NFTs. With the subject of NFTs maintaining its controversial nature, some were quick to slam the Death Stranding developer for supposedly launching Kojima Productions NFTs in 2022. It turns out that it’s all just a big misunderstanding.

Kojima Productions NFTs misunderstanding

When the official Kojima Productions official Twitter account retweeted the collaboration between itself and Anicorn, some were taken aback by the latter’s bio:

“Aight, let’s have a look at what this i–”

Twitter user @Daniellearmouth was quick to screenshot the original bio, which was quickly changed to “Time different” and, finally, a tease for the upcoming collaboration with Kojima Productions.

If Anicorn had been a little quicker on the draw, the outrage would likely have been avoided. Instead, the delay caused a fair amount of chaos in the Twitter responses and inspired this post on the Resetera forum.

Though Anicorn has certainly been part of collaborations involving NFTs, with an “NFTs” section on its website pointing to previous crossovers, there’s nothing to say that the work with Kojima Productions will involve digital tokens.

While it hasn’t yet been officially confirmed, those who aren’t shouting about NFTs are expecting a Death Stranding watch announcement. Following this controversy and how loud some responders are being, it’s possible that the timeline for the reveal will be accelerated somewhat.

For Kojima fans who want to potentially get their hands on a watch, both @Anicorn_Watch and @KojiPro2015_EN are likely to tweet out when the drop happens.
