Hideo Kojima tweet suggests he’s working on a PS5 game
Veteran developer Hideo Kojima could be working on a PlayStation 5 game, a new image which shows off a development kit suggests.

While it could be a holdover from Death Stranding, it appears to be connected up, implying it’s currently in development use.

This is potentially notable as it’s been reported that Kojima is currently working on an Xbox game. First reported last year, the project, which is said to utilize Microsoft‘s Cloud technology was still on “as of a couple of weeks ago”.
Speculation recently grew that Kojima Productions could be the next studio to be acquired by Sony, following an update to Sony’s PlayStation Studios website.
