And not everything the developer tweets is synonymous with teasing. In short, for the moment, difficult to really know.

Then, the studio could be in parallel on Death Stranding 2, given that Hideo Kojima will continue to have a very good relationship with PlayStation. Then there are the side projects like his radio podcast, exclusively in Japanese, or his video team which should release something…
