Geoff Keighley and Hideo Kojima have been besties ever since 2001, and their unbreakable, long-standing bond\u2014that Naruto and Sasuke-esque affection for one another\u2014is an oft-memed topic among the gaming community. However, over the past week, the internet has gotten a little freakier about Kojima and Keighley\u2019s affinity for one another, because rumors are flying that our two favorite gaming dads are getting a \u201cdivorce.\u201d<\/p>\n
While most have taken this as an opportunity to post silly break-up memes and, in at least one instance, some Kojima x Keighley fanfics, some are digging a little deeper into the two men\u2019s supposed falling out\u2014arguably, a bit too deep. Most of the posts over the past few days seem to have stemmed from this<\/a> post on June 5, which states that \u201cKojima has interacted a total of ZERO (0) times with Geoff Keighley\u2019s tweets since the infamous Game Awards gala where Expedition 33 took home GOTY.\u201d<\/p>\n Whether or not that\u2019s true is, as far as the internet is concerned, completely beside the point, because both Keighley and Kojima have clearly decided to have a bit of fun with the charade. For instance, The Washington Post\u2019s Gene Park posted a picture of himself with Kojima on the same day, with a quote reply stating \u201cplz don\u2019t show this to geoff keighley.\u201d Kojima instantly decided to retweet it\u2026 twice<\/a>.<\/p>\n diabolical \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d https:\/\/t.co\/xSVW3lqVhd<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/3zM6nOPhmA<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Gene Park (@GenePark) June 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Geoff has been having some fun with it too<\/a>, and has decided to start replying<\/a> to a bunch of Kojima\u2019s posts as if he\u2019s cosplaying as someone obsessively longing to get back in touch with an old flame. The internet has yet to pick a side in the divorce, although I have seen several replies instructing Geoff to \u201cnever give up\u201d on his one true love.\u00a0<\/p>\n using \ud83e\udee6 here would\u2019ve been way more honest<\/p>\n \u2014 Dinostoned (@Undead_Leader) June 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n So, are Kojima and Geoff actually beefing? Did Geoff announcing that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 won GOTY instead of Death Stranding 2 really drive a wedge between the two besties? Or was it that homewrecker Miss Piggy? Obviously not, otherwise I doubt they\u2019d be making such a joke out of it. But hey, at least we got some all-timer X posts out of all this.<\/p>\n it’s almost been six months since my fathers (hideo kojima and geoff keighley) divorced\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/KPUBpUDhqC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 excruciate (@wiithteeth) June 5, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n To heal I put Geoff and kojima on tomodachi island pic.twitter.com\/JnbufRpC8k<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ch4rl13 (@milktst) June 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n who tf am I supposed to talk to about the Geoff keighley Kojima divorce. this is a level of online that my friends just do not understand.<\/p>\n
