Xbox Acquires Kojima's Physint After PlayStation Cancels Project
Hideo Kojima’s upcoming game, Physint, will now be published by Xbox after Sony and PlayStation canceled the project. The move follows a series of announcements from both companies and Kojima Productions. Sony described its decision to step away as difficult but emphasized that their relationship with Kojima remains strong. In contrast, Kojima stated on his personal X account that he received an unexpected cancellation notice in June and spent three months seeking a new publishing partner. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma expressed pride in securing the project, aligning it with Xbox's strategy to focus on major franchises and innovative ideas. The partnership will also extend beyond games into film and television projects. Physint is described as a genre-defining action-espionage title but does not have an expected release date before 2030.
