Hideo Kojima's secret project with PlayStation revealed

Hideo Kojima, the acclaimed creator of the Metal Gear series and Death Stranding, is collaborating with PlayStation on a new spy game franchise titled "Physint." Designed to blur the lines between video games and cinema, Physint aims to leverage cutting-edge technology to produce graphics that closely mimic real-life imagery. Kojima, no longer with Konami, is focusing his efforts on continuing the espionage gameplay that made Metal Gear iconic, through this new intellectual property. While details are limited, development will ramp up following the release of Death Stranding 2 in 2025. Aside from Physint, Kojima Productions is also working on "OD," a horror game for Xbox, which understandably was not highlighted at the State of Play broadcast.

Hideo Kojima's new game with PlayStation, "Physint," is an action-espionage title intended to push the boundaries between gaming and film, with a focus on next-generation technology and life-like graphics. Development is set to progress after the launch of Death Stranding 2 in 2025.

Hideo Kojima is widely recognized for his innovative storytelling and gameplay design, particularly with the Metal Gear series. His departure from Konami in 2015 led to the formation of Kojima Productions, and the release of the critically acclaimed game Death Stranding in 2019. As Kojima Productions is known for exceptional graphics and engaging narratives, expectations for Physint are high within the gaming community. Both his works often explore themes of human connection, society, and the future of technology, promising that Physint will likely incorporate such complex themes within its gameplay and story.
