KojiPro are working on multiple games:

As far as games go, Kojima Productions "is planning to work on multiple game projects, one of which would be a 'big' game". But Kojima is planning on making some smaller games, too, including episodic and digital-only titles.

www.gamesradar.com

Hideo Kojima discusses new Kojima Productions projects

The interview was published in the February 6 edition of Famitsu


We don't know whether the Microsoft title is the "big game" or one of the smaller games. It was rumored that Kojima was pitching a smaller episodic title to Stadia and that didn't happen so it could be that Microsoft is picking up the title that Stadia refused. So that's 1 title, which leaves the others, any of which could still be a Sony exclusive. For all we know KojiPro's "big game" is a Sony exclusive and the smaller titles aren't, so don't be so quick to jump to conclusions.

Also, all of the insiders have said that to their knowledge negotiations were underway. None of them have said it's a done deal.

This is why it's so important to not jump to conclusions. Look at Remedy, they're working on multiple games and their "big game" is rumored to be a PS5 exclusive made by the Control team. For all we know it could be a similar story here.



Interesting
 
I'm just waiting for those Sonic Blue, Knuckles Red and Tails Orange XBOX controllers to come to fruition. One of these Wednesdays...

Wish he would do another mecha game like Zone Of Enders. I feel like those games are slept on when it comes to his catalog.

I can definately see this being a route which benefits both Kojipro and Xbox.

Taking Phil's "hint" in the background, I'd like to think that was put there due to confidence in the deal being finalised/is finalised.

Big fan of Kojima, own a XSX so bring it.

This rumor over rumor is very interesting.

- Abandoned was announced.
- Theories exploded about being a Kojima’s game because you know Blue Box never released a game before and from nothing they show a game exclusive to PS5.
- To counter the theories Grubb’s Xbots created the news theory that Abandoned can’t be a Kojima’s game because he is having a tea time with Uncle Phil.
And when it’s eventually confirmed that Kojima has nothing to do with Blue Box and that Kojima’s next game is an Xbox exclusive you’ll disappear down your usually hole of ignorance.

Husky is the one that gave him the engine, the one that lent Guerrilla Games devs to work on Death Stranding and helped Kojima setup an office next door to them in Amsterdam. He seemed to have pulled al the stops to get in Kojima’s good graces very early on.

Hulst wasn't in charge when Kojima came over though, right? Maybe once Hulst got his promotion shit got real and he realized he couldn't just go around kissing Kojima's arse.

One thing's for sure though, if he were to make an exclusive for XSX we can be pretty sure it might end up being one of the best looking games of the generation (and therefore wouldn't come out until like 2024 or something).

preordered DS, and hated it, I never was into MGS series so this news (if true) doesnt excite me at all (I didn’t like single Kojima game)

On the plus side, if this happens PC Day 1!

On the other.. sucks to just have a Sony console and like Kojima.
 
This could get interesting. Not the game most likely as I'm not really a fan of his more recent games. The narrative though, has the potential to get really interesting.

Seeing as it's just a loose rumor at this point, how it plays out either way should make for good reading.

• The rumor ends up being true. Many of the same Sonlyfans that were hailing DS as a multiple goty award winning masterpiece, will do an abrupt 180, and claim that Kojima has lost it, and that DS was really a terrible game all along.

• The rumor ends up being false. DS immediately returns back to masterpiece status, and Kojima becomes the second coming of Christ. It was obvious all along that Kojima would never go to team green, because he's loyal to Sony.

Edit: Bo Bo shows up like clockwork, and doesn't disappoint. 😁

well there's big differences in gameplay between mgs and death s. just one is what ppl called walking sim.

Death Stranding is a walking sim, and loved it. And of course MGS is different but the mechanics, animations, gunfight in Death Stranding feel like a refined version of MGSV. In any case, I love Kojima's creations and if news are true and it's only on Xbox then I'll buy the game on my PC definitely.

The Kojima on Xbox discussion has been happening since the middle of February though. And given everything is accounted for within the shelf meme except the Kojima statue, it's been pretty obvious something was happening.

The Abandoned thing started within the last 24 hours, right? And seems largely held together by hopes and dreams.
So will his games stop being walking simulators now if that happens? :D
Death Stranding is literally a walking sim, complete with weight management and balance simulation.

It's incredible, but if this is the game you want to call "not a walking Sim" you're gonna lose.
Kojima on Xbox means no Decima Engine. Good luck for starting from scratch with a new engine.
MS has multiple engines or he could go with Unreal. Doesn't seem like a major issue all considering.

Edit: He's been hiring for Unreal. Makes sense - it's platform agnostic and it'll probably prevent him having to ever use a new engine again.
I see a Switch on the shelf, I guess that means Nintendo games are coming to Xbox
Psst.

So people are really that dumb that believe that Kojima by making a deal for a game with Xbox is suddenly cutting all ties with Sony? Sony gave the guy a massive budget and massive creative freedom why would he be pissed about that? lol

Kojima is independant, he can work with whoever he wants.

Decima engine is so ready for MGS-like game. Loved those power skeletons!

And combat has the same flavor of MGS:

And funnily throwing the bags at the enemy, typical Kojima trolling. :lollipop_tears_of_joy: But he used Quixel Megascans, those are Icelandic terrains that are being overly used lately:

I’m genuinely surprised at the excitement shown by Xbox fans for a rumoured Kojima game because when he was developing Death Stranding for Sony, he was the most overrated game creator ever haha - I love this site

i don't remember xbox fans calling kojima most overrated before? only now that he is turning green, we see the contempt, tbf DS is quite divisive, so maybe more koji doubters are appearing.

I want 10 5 names of the Sony fanboys who think this.

Dude wanted to make an exclusive for Stadia. Not that there was ever any doubt, but Kojima is weird as fuck.

They can use unreal engine, so it'll probably run better on ps5, that would be hilarious, and I kinda want that to happen now

Make it happen kojima
Death Stranding already used UE4 in it's first reveal IIRC, then they shifted to Decima with the agreement with Sony.
