Hideo Kojima Alone Is Currently Working on PlayStation Exclusive Physint 1

Hideo Kojima could well be one of the busiest directors/designers in the industry right now; not only is he fielding interviews and constantly posting on social media, but he's also simultaneously working on three games at his studio, Kojima Productions.

First, there's Death Stranding 2: On the Beach — he's working on updates for the recently released game. Then there's OD, a horror title that he's now giving more focus as the aforementioned sequel. Finally, there's Physint — that mysterious PlayStation exclusive, announced at the start of last year.

In an interview with IndieWire, Kojima comments that he alone is currently working on this latter project.

Asked what he's currently working on, here's his full answer:

Well, I’m checking the data of [Death Stranding 2] players all over the world — what kind of weapons they’re using, the routes they’re taking, all this data. And I also see these small bugs here and there, so I’m deciding where to fix and what to fix. I also am starting to work with the team on “OD” because that’s a new project, and also doing “Physint” all by myself because that’s at the conceptual stage. So I’m doing that. And also I have all these interviews every day, and also promotional — photo-shootings, things like that — so I don’t feel like I’ve finished the title, to be frank.

So, Physint is technically in the works, but it's at the "conceptual stage" and Kojima is working on it solo — basically meaning it's years and years away.

Still, it's at least encouraging that he brought it up and acknowledges it here. We may not see this game for a long time, but it's in the works.

All we know about Physint at this point in time is that it's a "next-generation action espionage game", suggesting this will be some sort of spiritual successor to the Metal Gear Solid series. On top of that, the aim is to "transcend the barriers between film and video games".
