Hideo Kojima Refutes Rumor of Kojima Productions Being Purchased By Sony

Social media can read a lot of what goes into posts and tweets. In the age of studio acquisitions, this has become a hot topic, and all kinds of speculation is begging for confirmation. One of those studios that's been at the circle of these discussions for the last few months has been Kojima Productions, Hideo Kojima's independent development company.

The beloved, and occasionally polarizing game designer responsible for titles like Zone of the Enders, Metal Gear, and more recently Death Stranding, stoked those rumors again, after tweeting an image of Sony Studios and sending the internet in an uproar.

Without any text following this tweet, followers, pundits, and fans drew only one conclusion, that Sony had acquired Kojima Productions. That same day, Hideo Kojima, and Bluepoint Studios (who was included in an updated image of the pic later, reiterated that they remain independent production studios.

"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, but KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS has been and will continue to be an independent studio."

Kojima Productions is still reportedly in talks with a project being developed for Xbox, whatever may come of that, we'll know in due time. For the foreseeable future, Hideo Kojima appreciates his independence.
