"I was surprised to see on social media that the Wachowski sisters had 'offered me a Matrix game project' back in 1999, Kojima wrote. In all these 26 years, no one ever told me such a conversation had taken place. At the time, we were mutual fans and exchanged emails. The Matrix hadn't been released in Japan yet, but I had already seen it in theaters in the US and at a preview screening."
"Kojima explained that there was no mention of an offer to develop a Matrix video game, and back then, he was busy working on Metal Gear Solid 2. "If someone had told me, maybe there could've been a way to make it work," Kojima added. In the original interview on Time Extension, Bergstresser recalled a meeting with the Wachowskis and former CEO of Konami Digital Entertainment, Kazumi Kitaue,"
Hideo Kojima was surprised to learn that the Wachowski sisters had offered him a Matrix game project in 1999 and said no one informed him of such a conversation over the following 26 years. Kojima and the Wachowskis exchanged emails, he had seen The Matrix in US theaters and at a preview screening before its Japanese release, and he met them during promotion visits to Japan. Kojima was occupied working on Metal Gear Solid 2 at the time and reported that no offer to develop a Matrix game was mentioned. Bergstresser recalled a meeting involving Kazumi Kitaue that Kojima said he missed.
