Yesterday, with the shocking news of Microsoft Gaming’s restructuring, hundreds of news stories emerged on forums and social media. There was a lot of speculation, with some reports being accurate and others being far-fetched and detached from reality. What has happened internally at Microsoft is serious, but it’s clear that the company will continue to work on game development in the same way, and they themselves have confirmed that there are over 40 projects in active development.

The collaboration announced in 2023 between Kojima and Microsoft on Overdose has not changed, at least not yet. We don’t know if it will in the future, but we’re clarifying this because yesterday, a thread emerged on ResetEra’s forums sharing information about an alleged disagreement between Kojima and Xbox. The post in question has been closed, as the author of the rumor said that the rumor wasn’t even worth having a thread about.

Disagreement between Microsoft and Kojima over Overdose publication

Right now, we can assure you that there’s no official word on this development. Since its announcement two years ago, Kojima has been fully focused on developing the recently released Death Stranding 2, and we’re supposed to learn more about this project at some point. With the current turmoil at Microsoft, all rumors can be considered plausible, but we must take everything with caution and wait for official confirmations, whether good or bad.
