Hideo Kojima officially announced the development of a new game with Microsoft Xbox Game Studios. In addition to being a game that Hideo Kojima has always wanted to develop, he even revealed that it will use Microsoft’s “advanced technology”. As soon as the news came out, it was like dropping an atomic bomb in the player circle.
Although Hideo Kojima belongs to a third-party development force, the in-depth cooperation between “Death Stranding” and Sony SIE makes the follow-up partnership highly anticipated.
Today, Hideo Kojima’s big move to turn around and join hands with Xbox Game Studios has touched some nerves. He is afraid that Hideo Kojima and Sony have run out of fate, and he can only buy another console in the future to play the game.

There are also more excited players on the chang.org petition website to initiate the “cancel Hideo Kojima Xbox exclusive game” (Cancel Kojima Xbox exclusive game)。
Believing that Kojima, blinded by greed, is betraying his loyal fans, he must vote to help Kojima back. Mainly because Kojima mentioned in his presentation that he would use Microsoft’s “advanced technology.”
