It was revealed yesterday that Konami and Kojima Productions legend, Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear Solid series of games (and others) will deliver the keynote address at the 2009 Game Developers Conference (GDC).

Kojima’s keynote, entitled “Solid Game Design: Making the ‘Impossible’ Possible,” will focus on “conquering various development obstacles with creative game design, using the driving game design philosophies behind the Metal Gear series as reference.” This keynote address will apparently be the first time Kojima will attend the GDC. Event director of the GDC, Meggan Scavio said:

“The Game Developers Conference has invited Hideo Kojima to keynote every year for as long as I can remember, so we couldn’t be more excited that, at long last, he feels that it is time for him to address the game development community.

“The anticipation is already huge to see how one of the community’s most revered and elusive creators will inspire attendees to further push the limits of game development.”

The Game Developers Conference is the largest professional industry event dedicated to the creation of games of all types on all platforms, providing a central forum for learning, inspiration and networking in the videogames industry. This year, the GDC takes place over March 23-27 at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco.
