As part of the “Beyond the Strand” event this week that celebrated the 10th anniversary of Kojima Productions, Hideo Kojima made a series of announcements, one of which was quite unexpected.
Kojima is parterning with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group to launch a new Kojima credit card. In the second half of 2026, MUFG will offer a credit card that will give users points based on spending that they can use to exchange for merchandise and other goods for Kojima-related items.
That’s all Kojima and the bank had to say about the credit card. Additional details will be forthcoming.
Presumably this card will only be available in Japan, but if you’re interested in a gaming credit card and live in the US, you have a few options to choose from. Microsoft offers an Xbox credit card and Sony offers a PlayStation credit card and each offer bonuses specific to their platforms.
Also during the Beyond the Strand event, Kojima Productions released new teasers for the Xbox-published game OD and the Sony-published game Physint. Kojima also announced a partnership with former Pokemon Go developer Niantic to create a new experience.
