Physint to be published by Xbox Game Studios as Sony Interactive Entertainment steps away [Update]

Xbox Game Studios will publish Phsyint, Kojima Productions‘ January 2024-announced action espionage game, after Sony Interactive Entertainment has made the “difficult decision” to step away from the project.

“After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to step away from collaborating with Kojima Productions on its project Physint,” Sony Interactive Entertainment said in a tweet. “We continue to have great admiration for Hideo Kojima‘s vision for the game. Our relationship remains strong after three decades of industry-leading, genre-defining creative cooperation, and we look forward to continued close collaboration with Hideo Kojima and his award-winning independent studio in the future.”

In an Xbox Wire post, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma said, “Creators have choices about where and how they bring their ideas to life. We’re honored that Kojima-san has chosen Xbox to work with Kojima Productions on Physint. His ambition to challenge conventions reflects the kind of creativity we want to support at Xbox.”

Kojima Productions creator and founder Hideo Kojima added, “This expands our relationship with Xbox beyond OD. As we move forward with the development of Physint, we remain committed to redefining the action-espionage genre for players around the world.”

The relationship between Xbox and Kojima Productions will extend beyond games, with the two collaboration “across film and television to bring new stories to broader audiences.”

Platforms and a release date for Physint have yet to be announced.
