Game Death Stranding is now in the market and although the judgment is still early and whether it will achieve the commercial success desired or not, but the game has caused a sensation since its disclosure for the first time 3 years ago and to this day, especially as it was developed by the genius Kojima.
Sony was Kojima's first and only supporter when he started creating his new company Kojima Productions after leaving Konami and also opened direct contact with his team with her studios. Death Stranding was developed using the “Decima” engine used by Guerrilla Games to develop games like Killzone. And Horizon Zero Dawn and we also learned that about 70 developers from the same studio contributed to the development of the new game Kojima.
With the launch of the game nearing, Sony has contributed to the promotion of the game through its social networks and also support other campaigns behind closed doors to allow Kojima to introduce his game, which many described as vague and unclear, but what now?
Death Stranding game is now released and Kojima announced that he is now busy working on his new project, but what we can not determine is whether Sony will remain close to him as it did in the past, especially as the game Death Stranding estimated as released on the PlayStation 4 exclusively, but exclusive will not be absolute The game will be released next year on the PC, a sign that Sony's relationship with Kojima is not as much as it thinks strong and that Sony may abandon it in the coming period.
It was expected that Kojima Productions would be included in Sony's studios to make its upcoming titles exclusive to their devices, but the door is still open and there is no talk or even a hint of Sony's intention to join them.
It may be questionable, but the weakest faith is that Sony will wait for how Death Stranding will do in the market and decide whether to bring Kojima Productions to it. The other possibility is for Sony to keep its relationship as it is so that it gets temporary exclusivity. Once this exclusive one-year exclusive is over, he will be allowed to publish it on other platforms as she did with Death Stranding, but don't forget that Herman Halst, president of Guerrilla Games, is now the president of Sony World Studios and is also a close friend of Kojima himself. There will be a greater chance of bringing Kojima Productions to the market For studios that he now manages.
Kojima began working on his new project, which some expect to be a horror game, according to Kojima hints that he wishes to work on a game of horror and that he has a lot of ideas that can be applied in this game.
What are your expectations, do you think that Sony should bring Kojima under its wings or keep the relationship as it is now?
