The speech went as follows (taken from the translated remarks present in the video):

"There is a game I have always wanted to make. It's a completely new game, one that no one has ever experienced or seen before. I've been waiting very long for the day when I could finally start to create it. With Microsoft's cutting-edge cloud technology and the change in the industry's trend, it has now become possible to challenge myself to make this never-before-seen concept."

He continues:

"It may take some time, but I'm looking forward to teaming up with Xbox Game Studios and hope to bring you some exciting news in the future."

Recent rumors surrounding the man and his projects have included a sequel to the surreal Death Stranding and a new horror project titled "Overdose," featuring Margaret Qualley from the former game. The latter project was revealed by industry insider Tom Henderson.

Given Kojima's claim that this is a project that he has always wanted to make and that the latest trend in the industry along with Microsoft's cloud technology makes it possible, players will be eager to see what the partnership between the two will have in store.

Considering it is Hideo Kojima, it will be something that pushes the boundaries of the genre and the form itself.

The longstanding rumor has finally been confirmed. It is surely going to be some time before players hear anything about what the collaboration that is being worked upon, contains. One can only hope it truly brings an experience like never before.
