Yesterday, Xbox and Hideo Kojima announced a partnership to create a game using Microsoft’s cloud technology.
Some may have wondered where does that leave Kojima Production’s partnership with PlayStation which resulted in the creation of Death Stranding.
Today Kojima Productions took to Twitter to clarify that it’s not a matter of either/or, and the relationship with PlayStation continues with a “very good partnership.”
This shouldn’t surprise, since Kojima-san himself has recently reiterated the studio’s independence following speculation about acquisitions, which usually means working with multiple platform holders.
If you care about the relationship between Hideo Kojima and Sony Interactive Entertainment, you needn’t worry. While Andrew House may not be around anymore to gaze lovingly at the veteran developer, we’re not looking at a breakup here.
You can read the full announcement below.
At the moment, there is no specific information about the game that will be created with Xbox, besides vague hints on the fact that it will leverage Microsoft’s cloud technology, as mentioned yesterday.
“There is a game that I have always wanted to make. It’s a completely new game, one that no one has ever experienced or seen before. I’ve waited very long for the day when I could finally start to create it. With Microsoft’s cutting edge Cloud technology, and the change in the industry’s trend, it has now become possible to challenge myself to make this never-before-seen concept. It may take some time, but I’m looking forward to teaming up with Xbox Game Studios and hope to bring you some exciting news in the future!”
