Hideo Kojima is the legendary game guru who brought us hits ranging from Metal Gear Solid to Death Stranding. Now, Kojima has signed a letter of intent with Microsoft as a vital first step towards publishing his next project on Xbox.
It is important to note that a letter of intent is not the same as a contract and neither Kojima nor Microsoft have said anything about this agreement so far. But if their respective lawyers can iron it all out, Xbox could see an exclusive game from one of the most influential minds in the industry.
This information is provided courtesy of a special report from GamesBeat. The same report states that Kim Swift, a professional developer who has worked on blockbuster titles like Portal and Left 4 Dead, is coming to Microsoft specifically to help Kojima build a cloud game. Swift worked on Google’s Stadia cloud gaming service, and Kojima expressed a previous interest in cloud gaming.
At this stage, however, it is unknown what Kojima’s game will actually be. But this letter of intent is the first step in finally turning that idea into reality. Meanwhile, Sony fans can breathe a sigh of relief – the report says that any deal Kojima reaches with Microsoft will not stop him from working on separate titles for Sony or any other publisher.
