The next attendee for Geoff Keighley's E3 Coliseum has been revealed and it's a notable old friend of the host.

Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear Solid series and the current director of Death Stranding, will once again be returning to the E3 Coliseum stage in 2018. The topic of conversation during the panel will focus on Kojima and his own process of creating his games.

Kojima will be joined by Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts throughout the panel to take part in the discussion. Vogt-Roberts is a longtime fan of Metal Gear Solid and in recent years has been linked to a film adaptation of the game. The project is still very early in production, however, and hasn't moved past the scripting stages as last reported.

If you're hoping to hear more details on Kojima's current project Death Stranding, you might want to keep an eye on Sony's showcase Monday night instead. Sony has already confirmed that Death Stranding will have a presence at their conference though we're still uncertain just what will be shown.

Currently, the schedule for E3 Coliseum has not been revealed but we'll surely learn more specific details as we draw nearer to the show. Hideo Kojima joins Darren Aronofsky, and Tim Schafer as just some of the other guests who will be swinging by the E3 Coliseum stage next month during E3 2018.
