Despite his appearance and remarks at The Game Awards 2021, academy award winning director Guillermo del Toro has said he doesn’t think he would work in games again.
Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast (and as spotted by GameSpot) the director of Pan’s Labyrinth, Guillermo del Toro, has said that he doesn’t think he will work in video games again, calling himself “the albatross of video gaming”.
Del Toro previously worked on two high profile video games, both of which never ended up being released. The first was a survival horror game, Insane, planned to be developed alongside Volition, the developers of the Saints Row series. However, not much was announced about the game before its cancellation in 2012.
The second title was much higher profile. Working with Konami, del Toro, Hideo Kojima and Norman Reedus were working together to develop a new title, as announced with the demo. This “playable teaser” was removed from stores when the project was cancelled.
