Microsoft invests in Konami? | GameMAG

A certain Japanese gaming company has recently received substantial financial support from American partners. Relevant information as part of the latest podcast release Xbox Chaturdays shared by a famous insider Jeff Grubb

As Grubb explained, information about the mysterious partnership reached him without any specific details, but the very fact of such conversations seems to the insider to be very interesting.

“From the West, there was significant funding for a Japanese company. This is what I heard, in such a meaningful formulation. But the very fact of such a conversation is of interest – this is an atypical situation. Usually, Japanese developers do not receive funding from the West, this is very difficult process. But over the past year the situation has changed somewhat, “- said Jeff Grubb.

As the insider noted, in his own opinion, we can talk about a partnership between Microsoft and the studio Kojima Productions, which there were many rumors previously, or about the alliance between Microsoft and the publisher Konami

The last option seems to the insider to be quite promising, since both parties would be extremely interested in active cooperation. Konami recently partnered with Polish studio Bloober Team and is open to other suggestions
