In Cyberpunk 2077, you will be meeting a ton of different faces in this massive RPG, but after a whirlwind of high-speed car chases and body augmentations, what if you want to sit down and have a long conversation with the video game auteur himself, Hideo Kojima?
In the world of Cyberpunk 2077, there is no Hideo Kojima. Instead, the video game designer and writer lives on in Night City as a cool guy named Oshima, in reference to the Japanese film director Nagisa Ōshima, a subtle nod to Kojima's love affair with movies.
Where To Find The Hideo Kojima Easter Egg In Cyberpunk 2077
You will first come across the myth himself on the legendary mission called The Heist, though it's easy to get caught up in the lights and glamor of Night City and completely miss his sweet cameo. During the mission, V and Jackie will enter the Konpeki Plaza towing in hand a large suitcase, holding the mission-necessary Flathead bot within it.
After a few not-so-nice words with the guards, Jackie will head upstairs to the hotel room, while you gain the optional side-mission of "Check out the hotel bar", almost as if the game is begging for you to see the legend firsthand.
Found deep within the hotel bar, Oshima lays bear his mind to a group of young wannabes sitting around him in a semi-circle, discussing with the small group, in utter Kojima fashion, his devotion to storytelling and his commitment to imbuing "realistic feelings and emotions" into his productions. Oshima even explains to the small group he has a research team in Tokyo working on the nuances of "capturing emotions" in his works of art.
Upon approaching him and saying hello, Oshima will even ask if you have a movie pitch for him. Although relatively short, the small scene is still a captivating one and a welcome surprise at that.
But, it doesn't stop there, as even Kojima's Death Stranding makes its way into Cyberpunk 2077 in the form of an easter egg.
