Said speculation was sparked by the appearance of a PlayStation Studios banner that included Kojima Productions’ IP Death Stranding, which of curse ignited the usual rumor mill.

Things came to a head when Hideo Kojima himself tweeted the banner about an hour ago, sending the Twitterverse into overdrive.

The developer then followed up by mentioning that his previous tweet may have possibly misled some, and pledging that Kojima Production has been and will continue to be an independent development studio, as seen below.

You may ask yourself why Death Stranding appears in PlayStation Studios’ banner, and the solution is pretty simple. PlayStation Studios published the game, pretty much like Microsoft Flight Simulator is published by Xbox, but it’s developed by the independent Asobo Studios.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
