Hideo Kojima is making a new game, but it is not the upcoming PlayStation 5-exclusive horror game Abandoned.

Kojima Productions is making a new game, but it is not Abandoned for PlayStation 5. Earlier today, Sony Interactive Entertainment revealed a trailer for Abandoned, which is a horror project from developer Blue Box Games. But that trailer, and the developer’s spotty history, are just odd enough to cause some people to speculate that Abandoned is secretly the next game from Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima. That is not the case.

But the biggest piece of evidence I have that Abandoned is not a Kojima joint is that Kojima is in talks with Microsoft about publishing his next game, according to a source familiar with the matter. And yes, that statue on Phil Spencer’s shelf was referencing a potential deal with the legendary developer. I cannot confirm if Xbox closed the deal yet, but my understanding is that Kojima is the focus of a Microsoft plan to leverage Japanese talent.

 

So you’ll have to enjoy Abandoned absent Kojima’s marketing stunts.

Since Kojima Productions was founded in partnership with Sony, I would assume any deals with Microsoft would be out of the question?

 

They had a deal with Sony for Death Stranding when they founded, but as far as I know, they're still an indie studio.

Nope. Waiting for that steam sale.

 

It's definitely a game where you must have patience and also like to traverse in a beautiful setting. Not much action at all but just long beautiful journeys to multiple destinations. The visuals are outstanding! The story is cool with interesting characters.

I've already expressed interest due to my experience with ETS2 / ATS
