In point of fact, Lords of Shadow comes out of a Western firm - Mercury Steam is based in Spain.

It was admitted by the lead developer that though the game was created by the west from Konami to fit the new generations tastes and that Kojima's involvement is was key. He was involved in every stage of the games development. In essence, the protagonist wouldn't of thought or looked the way he did or the dark atmosphere without Kojima. I heard about their earlier plans for the game. Good lord.

It's easy to say that, but the body of the design (outside of Gabriel himself) came directly from Mercury Steam; they were constantly encouraged to go further and further in making the game their own, and Kojima was primarily an advisor. He didn't have any direct design role.

Kojima's involvement was key, in two respects: Gabriel's redesign and the game being greenlit by Konami.


...and the atmosphere of the game and many more parts. Kojima was involved in every stage of development.
