Bloomberg drops a tempering note on Physint: Sony reportedly canceled Kojima’s new IP over budget and deadlines

Bloomberg reported anonymous sources suggesting Sony canceled Kojima Productions’ Physint due to missed deadlines and ballooning costs, plus concerns that the game wouldn’t meet revenue expectations. The move helped spur Kojima’s shift to an Xbox/PC release, with Microsoft now backing Physint and potentially deepening collaboration between Kojima Productions and Xbox, while past Kojima titles like Death Stranding are cited as part of Sony’s revenue concerns.
