Kojima Productions has released a public statement addressing recent rumors suggesting the independent game developer is facing severe financial distress.

Despite these challenges, the company insists it is operating in a stable and profitable condition. Furthermore, management emphasized that its ongoing partnership with PlayStation remains completely solid and unaffected by the recent publishing shifts.
