Cyberpunk 2077: How to Find Hideo Kojima Easter Egg

CD Projekt Red’s latest open-world RPG, Cyberpunk 2077, is a big game. There’s lots to see and do, and there are even some Easter eggs littered throughout the game, including one that allows players to speak to one of the most iconic people in the video game industry, Hideo Kojima. If you’re playing through the game and would like to know how to find Hideo Kojima in Cyberpunk 2077, we’ll tell you exactly where he’s hanging out at.

If you don’t know who Kojima is and what he’s known for, he’s the man who created the Metal Gear series and also put out Death Stranding last year, a very divisive game among critics that starred Norman Reedus as the main character.

How to Find Hideo Kojima in Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 has dozens of main story missions, but the mission that contains Kojima will be the eighth one, titled ‘The Heist.’

You’ll eventually get to a hotel and will have to follow Jackie to the hotel bar. The waitress will tell you that they don’t do reservations and to look around if you would like a table.

After this conversation, Jackie will ask you if you want to go straight to the hotel room or if you want to look around. Choose the second option and then walk straight to the tables/booths behind the waitress, which is also the section to the right of the bar.

There you will find Kojima having a drink with his legs crossed, talking to his buddies about genre tropes and things. You can listen to their conversation, and then you can eventually say hi to him by pressing the button prompt that pops up.

If you keep trying to talk to him, he’ll ask you if you have a pitch for him but then he’ll say that he doesn’t have time for you –how rude of him!

Sadly, this is simply just an Easter egg/cameo, and there’s no quest involving him or anything like that. It’s still cool to see nonetheless!
