PlayStation Studios originally introduced PHYSINT with Kojima Productions in January 2024, then said in September 2026 that it had decided to step away from the collaboration. Hideo Kojima says the studio was notified in mid-June and spent the following three months searching for a new partner before choosing Xbox. Neither side has disclosed the reason or the financial and rights terms.
Kojima Productions revealed the project’s first visual art and three actors in September 2025: Charlee Fraser, Ma Dong-Seok and Minami Hamabe. Character names, story, gameplay, platforms, release timing, price, engine and technical details remain unannounced. Xbox and Kojima Productions also plan broader film and television collaboration, but no PHYSINT adaptation has been announced.
