Xbox Game Studios and Kojima Productions in June announced a partnership to create a new video game for Xbox consoles.
Kojima in an interview with IGN was asked about the Xbox title he was working on and he said it is an "unusual title."
"In addition to [Death Stranding 2], we're making one other unusual title," said Kojima. "I knew that players expected the first release by Kojima Productions to be a videogame, so I started by making Death Stranding. While making games is harder than making any kind of video work, they're also the most fun at the end of the day.
"Kojima Production isn't publicly traded, so I don't have some goal of steadily growing the company. I just want to leave behind good work, and that's the stance I'm taking while making games, while also considering making other kinds of visual projects. We're going to maintain the stance of making our own IP and not working on IP licensed from others.
"While Covid delayed things a bit, Kojima Productions has exited the atmosphere with its first booster rocket and is ready to detach its second to go to the next planet."
When the game was initially announced he revealed "there is a game I have always wanted to make. It's a completely new game, one that no one has ever experienced or seen before. I've waited very long for the day when I could finally start to create it.
"With Microsoft's cutting edge cloud technology and the change in the industry's trend, it has now become possible to challenge myself to make this never-before-seen concept. It may take some time, but I'm looking forward to teaming up with Xbox Game Studios and hope to bring you some exciting news in the future!"

More pseudointellectual pretentious bs like Death Stranding i'm guessing.
So it will be an usual Kojima Game.
I don't like how he talks about this new game. It kind of makes death stranding 2 seem insignificant.
I don't get that feeling personally. I think both games will be very significant, and they both feel that way so far.
Unusual? Actual gameplay?
I hope that they keep that as the actual title
I’ll take unusual over normal. Normal is boring unusual is interesting
Plenty of normal games are not boring. Elden ring is normal and it’s one of best games ever made.
Elding ring is far from normal
How is it far from normal? What is it doing that is not normal?
Massive open world, seamless travel, huge draw distances, unique and different map designs all over the place. The way story is told. How is this game conidered the norm?
Is massive open world seriously your standard for a game not being normal? We might just have different definitions of what we consider normal. Cause massive open world is damn near over done at this point in gaming.
When you combine all the elements together, there isn't much out there that gives the same feeling.
