Following reporting about the rocky development of Physint, Kojima Productions stated the studio is in a “healthy, profitable state” on X. Kojima Productions is also asking players to take any unofficial statements about Physint’s publisher switch “with a dose of scepticism,” although it doesn’t outright disprove Bloomberg’s reporting.
What did Kojima Productions say about Bloomberg’s Physint report?
