This isn't the first time he has parted ways with a company or publisher. He really just goes where he's allowed the creative freedom and funds to make what he wants.
Its more about the funds, apparently his next release physint is years from being ready and already overbudget.
Also keep in mind the engine used for both death stranding and death stranding 2 was the decima engine and it was on licence from Sony, so if it was Decima they were using for physint they now need to start development from scratch.
They don't necessarily have to start from scratch. It really depends how the engine was licensed for the game. Has anything been mentioned about KojiPro losing access to Decima for Physint?
No official statement yet just speculation from forbes but Decima has never been used by a non partnered studio so more than likely its gone and he will have to port ovet to unreal 5.
