Remembering Kojima Station’s Christmas Chicken Head reveal

Remember waiting up for new Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain information on Kojima Station, only for Hideo Kojima to reveal the Chicken Head? We certainly do. Trolling us was a specialty of his, and he was hilarious in this episode.

In our follow-up, we confirmed the timing: it was during Christmas. That was part of what made the memory so vivid—staying up for an exclusive look and getting this wonderfully ridiculous reveal.

Watch the moment again

It is a fond memory of the build-up to MGSV: the anticipation, the late-night broadcast, and Kojima’s sense of humour taking centre stage.
