After leading his own RPG to release, Dragon Age: The Veilguard lead dubs Hideo Kojima as “one of the few people” who deserves the title of “auteurship”

Shortly after the launch of his own long-awaited RPG, BioWare creative director and Dragon Age: The Veilguard lead John Epler praises Metal Gear mastermind Hideo Kojima for his ability to bring whatever he has envisioned to the screen as a solid video game.

Speaking in a recent post on BlueSky in response to a Washington Post article on Kojima, Epler shares his thoughts on the fellow creator’s reputation and work. “Generally I resist the idea of auteurship in games,” writes the Dragon Age director, “because so much of how a game turns out is out of the control of any individual person.” According to Epler, Kojima, however, “is one of the few people that I think earns it.”
