Hideo Kojima’s PlayStation exclusive Physint is currently “at the conceptual stage”

Ever since Hideo Kojima was freed from the shackles of Konami, the director has been keeping busy working on a number of projects. With Death Stranding 2 now officially out and available for all to play and experience, Kojima has offered an update on his other PlayStation console exclusive, Physint.

In an interview with the publication IndieWire, Hideo Kojima spoke on the development of Death Stranding 2 and how it changed over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, both in terms of narrative and technology.

The full interview can be found HERE, but for our purposes the most interesting detail shared by Kojima was in what he is working on next. Of course, Kojima’s next two projects have already been previously announced, with OD being worked on in collaboration with Xbox and Jordan Peele – and Physint coming from Sony.

Offering just a hint on these two titles, Kojima claimed to be “starting to work with the team on ‘OD’ because that’s a new project,” while “also doing ‘Physint’ all by myself because that’s at the conceptual stage. So I’m doing that.”

Given that OD was first announced back in 2022, it makes sense that it would be next in line for development. Still, it is interesting to hear that the espionage action title Physint is being actively worked on right now – in Kojima’s mind at least.

Prior to the launch of Death Stranding 2, Kojima claimed that Physint “will take me another five or six years” likely owing to his ongoing work with OD at the moment.

That said, while OD remains in development right now, publisher Microsoft has been on a bit of a cancellation spree, and so things could very well change over the coming years. We will have to wait and see.
