Summary
Hideo Kojima and Geoff Keighley spent the weekend joking online about fan rumors that their long-running friendship had soured, undercutting claims of any real fallout.
The speculation took off after a June 5 post said Kojima had interacted with Keighley’s X posts zero times since the Game Awards, where Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 beat Death Stranding 2 for GOTY.
Gene Park’s June 7 photo with Kojima drew a teasing reply — “plz don’t show this to geoff keighley” — and Kojima amplified the gag by reposting it twice.
Keighley joined in by replying to Kojima’s posts like a spurned ex, while fans flooded X with breakup memes, fan fiction and calls for a reunion by the 2026 Game Awards.
