Xbox to publish Kojima Productions' Physint after PlayStation cancelled the project
Kojima Productions unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios in mid-June that it would cancel the Physint project, and the studio has now partnered with Xbox to publish the game. Hideo Kojima said the team was determined to keep the project alive and found in Xbox a partner sharing a common vision, with the two also set to collaborate on storytelling across games, film, and television. PlayStation called it a difficult decision and said its relationship with Kojima Productions remains strong after three decades of cooperation.
