The tweet by PlayStation on Wednesday about it “stepping away” from Hideo Kojima’s Physint project was one such piece of carefully constructed prose, full of warm words and gratitude for all those “three decades” of collaboration. On first reading, it is a gracious good-bye tweet. But read it once again, a couple of minutes after Microsoft’s announcement that Xbox will be publishing the game, and you will understand that the tweet was just damage control.What concerns me most is what both companies don’t say. Not a single gameplay footage or demonstration has been shared since the 2024 announcement, which is the very behavior that usually indicates financial or scheduling issues and not creative problems. This all correlates with every other information about Physint. Do you think that PlayStattion has won or lost on dropping Physint ?
