Media: Hideo Kojima signed an agreement with Microsoft to publish the next game on Xbox

The new game Hideo Kojima (Hideo Kojima) can be released on Xbox. According to the VentureBeat portal, the Japanese game designer and Microsoft have signed a corresponding agreement of intent. There are few details about the game yet.

Now the lawyers have to work out all the details of the final contract.

The deal is expected to take place before the end of 2021.

Microsoft has already started preparing the necessary for the new project. For example, last week the company made Kim Swift, the game designer of the first Portal and two parts of Left 4 Dead, the director of the Xbox Cloud Gaming team. According to VentureBeat, Swift will help Kojima with the creation of a “cloud” game.

What exactly Kojima’s game will be is unclear. It is reported that the deal is intended to “unleash the creative potential of Kojima Productions with the help of Microsoft technologies, and not to promote a specific game.”

According to VentureBeat, the agreement between Kojima and Microsoft should not prevent the Japanese game designer from working with other companies. For example, with Sony. Now his studio is engaged in Death Stranding: Director’s Cut for PlayStation 5.

Kojima and Microsoft started talking about a possible deal back in April. Then the journalists recalled the figure of Ludens, the mascot of Kojima Productions, which stood on the shelf of Phil Spencer during one of the streams.
