Talks between Xbox and Hideo Kojima are reportedly underway, with the aim to secure a publishing agreement.
Venturebeat – which first reported on potential plans for a deal between the two back in April – say discussions have now progressed to the stage that a letter of intent has been signed while legal teams hash out the finer details.
This leaves development work to continue (and Xbox boss Phil Spencer to continue displaying a Kojima Productions figurine on his shelf) in the meantime.

That said, the project itself still sounds fairly nebulous, with Venturebeat noting it involves Kojima exploring possibilities provided by Microsoft’s cloud technology. As for a letter of intent – well, it’s far from a signed contract to produce a game for Xbox when all is said and done.
