Tonight, as part of the Kojima Productions 10th Anniversary livestream, called Beyond the Strand, we got a new update on the studio’s Metal Gear-style project, Physint.
- Kojima Productions 10th Anniversary livestream featured Physint update.
- Actors Don Lee, Charlee Fraser, and Minami Hamabe are involved.
- Physint is a "stealth action title" similar to Metal Gear Solid.
- Physint was announced for PlayStation in January 2024.
- Kojima stated it would take "another five or six years" to complete.
- The game aims to "transcend the barriers between film and video games."
The title, which to date has been shrouded in secrecy, is still in the early stages of development. Actors Don Lee, Charlee Fraser, and Minami Hamabe are involved, and Hamabe also featured in an in-engine demonstration.
Sony Interactive Entertainment Studio head Herman Hulst appeared briefly before the segment on Physint, doubling down on the statements about Sony working closely with Kojima Productions on the title.
The game is a “stealth action title” a la Metal Gear Solid, and key art for the game was revealed during the livestream.
Physint was announced to be in the works for PlayStation in January 2024, with Kojima Productions describing it as a “next-generation action espionage game.” The last update from Kojima was in August 2025, indicating he was still working on the game “all by [him]self.”
Back in May, Kojima revealed Physint was now “in development,” noting it would likely take him “another five or six years” to complete. The title was born during a period of sickness and surgery, when thoughts of his own mortality convinced him to ‘change his priorities’ and do something fans had been asking him to do for years.
