Kojima says his Sony split was amicable and they both still love us very much

Hideo Kojima's Sony split was reportedly amicable, according to a statement released by Kojima Productions. The announcement came in response to a Bloomberg report suggesting Sony dropped their upcoming stealth game, Physint, due to overbudgeting and missed deadlines. The studio released the statement to alleviate fears that the relationship between Kojima and Sony had deteriorated, similar to his previous split with Konami.

Kojima Productions emphasized that despite the split on this project, they still cherish the relationship and will likely celebrate Christmas together. In contrast, Xbox has taken advantage of the situation, securing the funding for Physint's continued development and seizing a PR opportunity. However, the story remains uncertain, as the outcome for Kojima's future projects remains to be seen, particularly the 2026 releases.
