Physint, Hideo Kojima’s next action-espionage game at Kojima PrODuctions, has started to come into focus. New details have surfaced, including a Japanese story outline that reportedly runs more than 150 pages and tops 50,000 words in English, along with Kojima’s own pitch for a next-generation action-espionage game that could end up as one of the studio’s biggest productions.

It’s still early, but what’s been shown so far points back toward espionage after Death Stranding. Physint sits alongside OD, another Kojima Productions project, and seems to draw from Metal Gear Solid’s spy-game DNA without simply turning into a copy. The tagline, “A New Cold War Begins,” plus the focus on HUMINT, SIGINT, and OSINT, points to a more grounded mix of modern intelligence work, surveillance, information warfare, and international conflict, all filtered through Hideo Kojima’s usual cinematic style.
Reports also say Kojima Productions is testing enemy AI, building 3D models of the cast, and aiming for a heavily cinematic game with Bill Skarsgård, Charlee Fraser, Don Lee, and Minami Hamabe. There’s also talk of roughly eight hours of narrative, even if Kojima himself says the wait could still be five to six years.
For anyone who’s been waiting on Hideo Kojima’s next spy game, Physint is one to keep an eye on. That’s especially true after reports that Xbox Game Studios took over publishing rights in September 2026 from Sony, reportedly because of budget, deadline, and commercial concerns, while Kojima Productions pushed back on claims of financial trouble.
You can’t download Physint yet, and there’s still no release date.
