Hideo Kojima is also partnering with Xbox Games Studio to create a new game utilizing Microsoft’s cloud technology. No other details about it have been revealed, but it will be exclusive to Microsoft platforms, including Xbox and PC.

Lastly, Team Ninja revealed a new game called Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty that is set to launch in 2023 and will come to Xbox Game Pass on release day. It follows a nameless militia solider in a dark fantasy version of the later Han Dynasty during a demon plague.
