Earlier this summer, Hideo Kojima released his latest game, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. While Kojima is already working on his next title, fans shouldn’t get their hopes up about his new stealth-action game Physint arriving anytime soon. According to Kojima himself, most of the work on Physint hasn’t exited the earliest stage of development.
Kojima told IndieWire that he is “starting to work with the team on OD, because that’s a new project.” He then added that he is “doing Physint all by myself because that’s at the conceptual stage.”
Physint was first announced during the January 2024 State of Play broadcast, and it was described as using “cutting-edge” technology to create a hybrid game and movie experience. Kojima subsequently revealed that the origin of the game came from players’ desire to revisit the stealth-action-espionage genre that he helped create in the Metal Gear Solid franchise.
According to Kojima, production on both OD and Physint were impacted by the video game actors strike that began in 2024 and ran well into this year. Kojima hasn’t set a firm timetable for Physint, but he has previously said that it may be “five or six years” away.
Konami is releasing a remake of Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater later this month. But when asked if he would ever play Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Kojima laughed and confirmed that he will not.
