But the biggest piece of evidence I have that Abandoned is not a Kojima joint is that Kojima is in talks with Microsoft about publishing his next game, according to a source familiar with the matter. And yes, that statue on Phil Spencer’s shelf was referencing a potential deal with the legendary developer. I cannot confirm if Xbox closed the deal yet, but my understanding is that Kojima is the focus of a Microsoft plan to leverage Japanese talent.
Said this one random dude on the internet. Delete this thread, please.
lol some people are gonna meltdown
Phil has hinted to it and Hideo likes the idea of the cloud so I guess it's probably true

What did I just read ?I am Ok with this.
Microsoft excels at scoring these BOMBA exclusives and then dropping the bag completely when it comes to delivering an actual game that isn’t Forza.
Off to GamePass with you Kojima!
Stadia even turned down Kojima. I don't anything good out of his studio anymore tbh lol.
The shelf is not a lie.
It's shocking to me that Sony didnt immediately sign him up for this next game almost 2 years ago when he shipped Death Stranding. This guy works so fast, he wouldve been half way through his next game by now. WTF is Sony doing?
TBH, I like new Micorsoft a lot more than I like new Sony so while I may have some reservations with how Microsoft has treated Japanese devs in the past, I think this new Microsoft might actually give him the freedom and support he needs more than what Jimbo is clearly willing to offer. 1.5 years since Death Stranding winning all those GOTYs and this man still doesnt have a job. Shocking.
Who knows if a Kojima game comes to Xbox, but if it does it'll probably be like 2024.
it won the most gotys that year. most fan gotys, and only trailed re2 by two gotys from critics. 51 to 49. most overall. It was definitely weird and extra but it clearly worked.a lot of people didn't like Death Stranding, and I think Sony saw that coming because the game is super weird and extra. maybe they didn't want to gamble
I wonder what engine would be used, probably Unreal?
So if Phil always hints something via his "shelf in the background" then there will be something Xbox x Switch related too?

i am not even saying they had to sign him to do a sequel but clearly kojima had earned another game. Jimbo just fucked up like always. I mean who the fuck picks Death Loop over a kojima game. A jimbo.
Reminder: Death Stranding was shit BEFORE this news.
