Renowned video game director Hideo Kojima’s upcoming project Physint, which could fairly be described as a spiritual successor to Metal Gear Solid, will now be published by Xbox instead of Sony, Microsoft announced today.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Xbox will continue to publish Kojima’s horror game OD \u2014 itself something of a spiritual successor to the never-finished PT \u2014 and the Kojima-Xbox partnership will expand beyond these two game projects to include film and television. \u201cThis expands our relationship with XBOX beyond OD. As we move forward with the development of PHYSINT, we remain committed to redefining the action-espionage genre for players around the world,\u201d Kojima said. He also posted on X<\/a> with details on how the deal came to be, saying that Sony was going to cancel Physint. “As confirmed earlier through our official channels, in mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the PHYSINT project. PHYSINT is an important project both to me personally and to KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Determined to keep the project alive, we have spent the last three months searching tirelessly for a new partner. In the course of seeking advice and pursuing negotiations with people across many fields, 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. Please rest assured that development of PHYSINT, our genre-defining action-espionage title, is ongoing and will continue moving forward.”<\/p>\n
