Summary
Gene Park said Sony canceled Hideo Kojima’s PHYSINT without warning, adding that Kojima got the call in June and was caught by surprise.
Park linked the cancellation to Sony’s inability to support the project, arguing mismanagement around Bungie and Concord left PlayStation unable to honor its commitment.
Kojima was not at fault, Park said, noting he had fought to keep PHYSINT’s production moving during the pandemic.
The fallout has pushed Kojima to seek a new partner in Xbox, turning a canceled PlayStation-backed project into a platform shift.
