Hideo Kojima claims Sony dumped him in a Zoom call with no reason
Hideo Kojima has revealed that Sony ended their long-running partnership over a Zoom call, and gave no reason for doing so.
Hideo Kojima revealed that Sony ended their long-standing partnership with Kojima Productions over a Zoom call without providing a reason. The video game creator expressed shock and surprise at the sudden decision, stating he was left wondering what steps to take next. Kojima Productions' debut game Death Stranding and its sequel Death Stranding 2 were both exclusive to Sony PlayStation.
However, Kojima had recently begun developing a horror game with Jordan Peele and a stealth action game featuring Bill Skarsgård. Sony's decision to withdraw support placed the studio in jeopardy, as it relied on funding from Sony to keep operating. Fortunately, Xbox stepped in as Kojima Productions' new partner, providing funding and resources.
Despite the sudden ending of his partnership with Sony, Kojima expressed no ill will towards the company, stating he was a long-time fan and has used Sony products throughout his career.
