Hideo Kojima hits back at ‘Physint’ cancellation rumours
- Xbox is now publishing Physint, the action espionage game from Kojima Productions, following Sony's surprise decision to step away earlier this month; the switch expands a partnership already including the horror title OD.
- Hideo Kojima admitted the sudden cancellation left him in shock, fearing Kojima Productions could collapse without funding and worrying about the roughly 200 employees hired specifically for Physint.
- Kojima Productions dismissed recent reports of financial instability as "unsubstantiated speculation," asserting the studio remains in a "healthy, profitable state" and encouraging fans to view unofficial claims with skepticism.
- Citing his 30-year history with Sony, Kojima emphasized he holds no "bad feelings" toward the company; after pitching Physint to Xbox, the team responded, "This pitch was fantastic."
- Performance capture and ADR recording resumed this year after the SAG strike pause, with development on both Physint and OD progressing on schedule as Kojima prioritizes these two projects during the studio's 10th anniversary.
