During its Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, Xbox has confirmed that it has struck up an exclusive partnership with legendary game designer Hideo Kojima.
Appearing via a brief pre-recorded message, Kojima, best known for creating the Metal Gear series, noted that he is working on a secret cloud project for Xbox. Specific details weren’t revealed, and Kojima said it’s a while out, but this confirms long rumours that he has indeed teamed up with Xbox.
This is a particularly notable collaboration since the Metal Gear series, as well as Kojima’s most recent game, 2019’s Death Stranding, were primarily made in partnership with PlayStation. Xbox, meanwhile, has spent the past few years investing more heavily into cloud gaming, with its Game Pass service offering streaming across consoles, PC and mobile.
Recently, The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus let slip that Death Stranding is getting a sequel, so it appears that Kojima Productions is working on at least two titles at the moment.
More to come…
