It was recently reported that a deal between Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima and Xbox is close to being signed. This is one of the reasons Kim Swift joined Xbox Game Studios Publishing as the senior director of cloud gaming is to work with Kojima on his game. 

Ssources familiar with the matter have told VentureBeat that Kojima and Xbox have signed a letter of intent that states the two will work out the details on a publishing agreement for a new game that will launch on the Xbox. 

This is a big step in the two working together with a generalized deal now in place, while lawyers work out the finer details. What this game will be is anyone's guess. 

Kojima Productions announced in June that Death Stranding Director’s Cut will be coming soon the PlayStation 5 with the full reveal happening soon.

I hope his next work isn't some pseudo-deep bs like Death Stranding.

Jeff Grubb alludes to this partnership for a long time now. Honestly I can see Kojima working on something unique centering around the XCloud like the article says after his talk at Summer Games Fest. Looking forward to whatever KP will make

The game will launch on the Xbox One exclusively or is that a typo?

I love his games but he said " Americans only enjoy shooting" Paraphrasing Kojima. Now he has a deal with an American Console known for its Shooters and Wrpgs. All i have to say is, Welcome.

It looks like he's just squinting, I don't really see any depressed looks.

If true, the game will only be time exclusive for Xbox. Death Stranding was unique and Metal Gear Solid 1-4 legendary! Rumor: Metal Gear Solid 1 Remake for PS5 is coming.
