BREAKING: Xbox is canceling Contraband, announced in 2021 from Avalanche Studios (Just Cause), after four years of radio silence, sources tell Bloomberg News. This news arrives weeks after a mass layoff in which Xbox canceled several other big titles.

OD, the collaboration between Xbox and Hideo Kojima, is still in development, a Microsoft spokesperson tells me.

I think they know that one is uncancellable
Canceling a kojima product gets you years of decline that only konami has seen
And konami was "fine" due to them not doing anything for years and focusing in pachinko
They keep struggling for that ever dwindling market share. They lost me when they decided my 360 console should include ads. Get fucked, Microsoft.
Yeah, I'm sure this won't go the way of Scalebound at all.
Yeah the entire industry blows Kojima so hard they’ll never cancel his game.
State of Decay 3: I either need a shot of hope or a band-aid ripped off 😔
Yeah this isn’t gonna survive til the end of the year. Sigh
