Yesterday, Gameblog published a story in which it was claiming that Kojima used part of MGSV’s budget in order to develop P.T. And today, Kojima Productions has issued an official statement, denying these P.T. rumors.
Let’s take things from the beginning. Gameblog claimed that a small team was developing Silent Hills P.T. in secret. According to the blog, Konami was unaware of its development or even its release date. Not only that, but the blog claimed that Hideo Kojima used part of MGSV’s budget in order to develop it. Gameblog also stated that Kojima worked with Sony to create a shell company in order to publish P.T on PSN while most employees at Konami knew nothing about this.
Apparently those allegations, though, are not true. Kojima Productions has a specific stance on rumors or speculations, and does not comment on them. However, and before things get out of hand, the team felt the need to straighten things out.
According to the official statement, this latest P.T. rumor is false. Kojima did not use a portion of MGS5’s budget in order to develop P.T.
"KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS normally does not comment on rumors or speculation, however we can confirm that the article recently posted on https://t.co/zDfUnEnnip is categorically false."
– Jay Boor, Global Head of Marketing and Communications https://t.co/d3o5rV0K0O— KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS (Eng) (@KojiPro2015_EN) June 24, 2020
This is the second rumor that Kojima shuts down. In March 2020, a rumor suggested that Sony and Kojima Productions were planning to purchase the Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill IPs. As we reported back then, those rumors were inaccurate. However, Sony may be indeed working on a new Silent Hill game with Konami. Moreover, Sony will not purchase the Silent Hill IP. Instead, Konami will allow Sony to develop a new Silent Hill game for the Playstation.
Rumors suggest that Sony may reveal a new Silent Hill game during its August 2020 event. This Silent Hill game will most likely be exclusive to PS5.

Rxtarded leakers. Sony should issue the same statement for PC port of Bloodborne so everyone shuts up.
pt was trash, they couldnt possibly have spent any money on it.
“we don’t comment on rumors so let me comment on this rumor real quick”
I bet that it’s probably true.
True or false, Kojima spent 5 years and $80 million to bring you 1/3rd of a game with MGS V.
1/3 that lasted for centuries, wtf kojima?
but the amount of polish in that game sort of makes it worth it.
I agree though, Kojima needed someone to curb his excesses. He didn’t and that’s why he ended up getting fired.
They also were making the Fox Engine. Konami didn’t give him more time to finish the game.
did you guys see someome on facebook saying he sold kojima’s game to buy last of us 2 and then kojima productions showed him the user score of last of us 2?
HAHAHAHAHAH
at least Kojima is not shoving sjw bullcrap,he like making the women in his games sexy and badass yet still feminine.
meanwhile in TLOU 2 you play as a scrawny lesbian and a psychopathic female gorilla
his whole game was a globalist “build bridges not walls” bs
Where i can find it?
I mean I dont like Kojima cause the way he treated Solid snake voice actor, but I mean atleast he just creates games with passion not like abomination the last of us 2 where Shrek is f@@king Fiona.
