Sony had recently dropped Kojima's Metal Gear spiritual successor, Physint. In response to Bloomberg's reporting, Kojima Productions reassured fans that the studio is thriving and development for Physint continues with Xbox. Kojima expressed his love for Sony, but admitted the recent cancellation left him feeling blindsided. Fans are now speculating about potential collaborations between Kojima and Sony.",
