The transfer was reported by the official Twitter studio.

The temporary closure of the studio became known at the end of March – then one of the developers found Covid-19, and the company had to quickly switch to a remote mode of operation.
In addition, on April 8, an emergency mode was introduced in Japan – so far without fines, but with recommendations for self-isolation. On April 20, the country recorded a record number of virus victims per day – 25 people.
Meanwhile, Kojima himself maintains a prolonged silence in social networks. His account mainly retweets various promotions related to the game, and the last tweet with his participation appeared on April 4 – after serving BAFTA.
