Xbox Takes Over 'Physint' Publishing
Hideo Kojima's upcoming action-espionage game, 'Physint', will now be published by Xbox. This development follows PlayStation's decision to withdraw from the project in June, a move that Kojima described as an unexpected cancellation notice.
Kojima Productions spent three months seeking a new publishing partner after PlayStation's departure. Xbox subsequently stepped in, securing the publishing rights for 'Physint'.
Expanding Collaboration with Kojima Productions
This agreement expands the existing partnership between Xbox and Kojima Productions. Xbox is already set to publish 'OD', another title from the studio. Kojima stated that Xbox is a partner with whom they share a common vision for the future.
PlayStation, which previously published both 'Death Stranding' games from Kojima Productions, stated that their decision to step away from 'Physint' was difficult but insisted their relationship with the studio remains strong.
Statements from Involved Parties
PlayStation tweeted that it made the "difficult decision to step away from collaborating with Kojima Productions on its project Physint," adding that it looked forward to continued "close collaboration" in the future. Shortly after, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma confirmed Xbox was taking on the 'Physint' project, mentioning both 'Physint' and 'OD'.
Kojima commented on X, stating, "We found in Xbox a partner with whom we share a common vision for the future, and we have decided to team up with them once again."
