Game creator Hideo Kojima says he has partnered with Microsoft’s Xbox for his next project after development for the PlayStation console was cancelled, according to reports. Both outlets describe the decision as a shift away from PlayStation following the termination of the earlier project.
Kojima is best known for pioneering the “Metal Gear” spy-themed franchise, which he helped build starting in the 1990s. The Vancouver Sun notes that he has been working on a new effort called “Physint,” positioning it as the project moving forward under the Xbox partnership. Japan Today similarly frames the announcement as Kojima moving to Xbox after a cancelled PlayStation version of his next work.
While both sources agree on the core points—Kojima’s move to Xbox and the cancellation of the PlayStation development—they emphasize different details: one highlights “Physint” by name, while the other focuses more broadly on the partnership announcement and the reason for the change.
