Xbox to Publish Kojima Productions' Physint After PlayStation Cancellation
Source Summary
Xbox will now publish Physint, an upcoming game from Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, after PlayStation cancelled the project. Sony, which had published Kojima Productions' previous Death Stranding games, described the decision as difficult but stated their relationship remains strong. Kojima claimed Sony issued an unexpected cancellation notice in June, with the studio spending the last three months seeking a new publisher.
