Kojima Productions has publicly disputed reports that the studio is in trouble, following news that Sony is no longer backing Hideo Kojima's Physint project. The game is instead expected to arrive on Xbox, a shift that triggered a wave of speculation about a falling out between the studio and Sony.
Bloomberg had reported that the decision was driven by a number of factors, though the specific reasons remain unclear. In response, Kojima Productions pushed back against the narrative that the studio is facing instability, without providing detailed counterarguments in the source.
The episode underscores how quickly platform relationships can change in the games industry, but the studio's denial suggests that reports of turmoil may be overstated.
