This happened because Hideo Kojima, the game-maker behind such famous titles as Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid, admitted that he\u2019d once cancelled a game because it was too similar to The Boys.<\/p>\n<p>Kojima recalled on <a href=\"\/\/twitter.com\/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN\/status\/1541229179571535873&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a> that he put his game \u201con hold because the concept was similar\u201d to The Boys, which was airing at a similar time, although Kojima says his project had \u201cdifferent settings and tricks\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Kojima went on to describe his unfinished game as a \u201cbuddy (male\/female) thing with a special detective squad facing off against legendary heroes behind the scenes. I was thinking of Mads [Mikkelsen] as the lead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke was quick to reply, saying in his own <a href=\"\/\/twitter.com\/therealKripke\/status\/1541082178221527040&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Tweet<\/a>, \u201cPlease come make a #TheBoys game.

Amazon even sent Kojima a branded The Boys shirt that he\u2019s posted pictures of a couple of times.<\/p>\n<p>For now, though, there has been no word on an official video game based on The Boys, although it seems like an obvious win considering that Amazon has its own gaming department these days.
