Koijima Productions’ Beyond the Strand presentation revealed a few new details for Physint, the studio’s in-development action espionage title. Although studio head Hideo Kojima said earlier this year that the project was at least five years away from release, he unveiled a piece of key art along with some of its celebrity voice talents.
Kojima reiterates that Physint, which was first revealed during a January 2024 State of Play, is in the conceptual stages. However, he says the game’s technology will be more advanced than Kojima Productions’ upcoming horror game, OD. While we don’t see any in-game footage, Kojima revealed a Physint poster showing off the game’s protagonist.
While Kojima has not yet cast the main character, he does reveal three film actors playing unknown supporting roles: Charlee Fraser (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Anyone But You), Ma Dong-seok AKA Don Lee (Train to Busan, Eternals), and Minami Hamabe (Godzilla Minus One). Kojima then shared images of Hamabe rendered in-engine, showing off the technology’s impressive realism.
Physint has no release window, but it will be coming to PlayStation platforms (likely Sony’s next-generation console). For more on Kojima Productions’ Beyond the Strand, check out the new teaser trailer for OD and the reveal of a Death Stranding animated movie.
