Amidst rumors of widespread layoffs and studio closures, Microsoft has confirmed that Hideo Kojima's new horror game is not at risk of cancellation. This news comes as a relief to fans of the legendary game designer, who have been eagerly anticipating his next project.

The same cannot be said for several other Xbox Game Studios developers, however, with reports suggesting that as many as five studios could be shut down in the near future. This would put several high-profile games in jeopardy, including State of Decay 3 and Blade.
