Kojima Productions revealed new details for Death Stranding Isolations, the hand-drawn anime heading to Disney+ in 2027. Tow Ubukata is handling series composition and screenplay. The story is original, set in North America right after Sam reconnects the continent through the Chiral Network, and follows a young man and woman on an adventure. Director Takayuki Sano is leading the 2D work at E&H production, with Hideo Kojima as executive producer. The details dropped at the studio’s 10th anniversary event, BEYOND THE STRAND, in Tokyo.

Kojima Productions and A24 are making a live-action Death Stranding film. The partnership was announced just before the studio’s 8th anniversary. Kojima said A24’s “innovative approach to storytelling” matches what his team has been doing, and that the movie will not be a straight translation of the game. Instead, it is meant to create a new Death Stranding universe that works for cinema audiences as well as players. The film is still in development with no release date.

Kojima Productions' OD | talking about OD and Screenshot "I wanted to do something new. I wanted to do something different," he says. "I had this OD concept since I was working on DS1 [Death Stranding] and I was working on it just by myself. I can't reveal much detail, but it's something that no one has ever seen before. A new game system." "I pitched to many people, to the big companies, and also to the up-and-coming companies. All of them said the same thing," Kojima recalls. "They said that I'm crazy, and that they really don't understand the concept — that they will not be able to do it. Kojima expertly teases, "I wanted to go beyond the limit of the 'scariness' that other games had reached. It's a single-player game, and I wanted to make it as scary as possible. But for those that might stop playing when it gets too scary, I have thought of a system that will allow them to keep going. I can't say much more, because it'll give too much of a hint on the system, and I could get in trouble for saying too much!"

Hideo Kojima posted new official art for PHYSINT. The poster shows Bill Skarsgård and Charlee Fraser and lists Don Lee and Minami Hamabe. The tagline is “The Next Cold War Begins.” Credits name Kojima for scenario, production, game design, and direction, and Yoji Shinkawa for character and mechanical design. Xbox and MetaHuman logos appear on the poster. A second image from Kojima Productions and Xbox shows the same four-person cast under the line “A Hideo Kojima Game.” Kojima confirmed Skarsgård as the lead. PHYSINT is an action-espionage game from Kojima Productions, now published by Xbox.

Thank you for inviting me to the KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS 10th Anniversary Exhibition “BEYOND THE STRAND”! 🖤 I was honored to meet mr. Kojima and many other people who helped create these worldwide known games. Unfortunately we couldn’t smile at the same time lol コジマプロダクション10周年記念展「BEYOND THE STRAND」にご招待いただき、本当にありがとうございました！🖤 小島監督をはじめ、世界的に有名なゲームの制作に携わってきた多くの方々にお会いできて、とても光栄でした！二人同時に笑顔の写真が撮れなかったので、両方載せちゃいます笑

Death Stranding hits its 7th anniversary today. The original launched on November 8, 2019 as Hideo Kojima’s first game after starting Kojima Productions. It has created more than 10 million “delivery addicts” worldwide. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach followed in June 2025. Seven years in and the strand system is still the series’ defining idea.

Windows Central claims Xbox is paying only a fraction of the rumored $400 million for Hideo Kojima’s PHYSINT. According to Jez Corden, sources with direct knowledge of the contracts said that the $400 million figure being reported may actually have been the amount Sony/PlayStation could have been on the hook for before its deal was cancelled. Corden says Xbox and Kojima Productions are instead working with a “fraction” of that figure. Playstation would spend that on concord 3

According to Paul Tassi, Sony no longer working with Kojima on PHYSINT means Kojima Productions has reportedly lost access to Sony’s Decima engine. Both Death Stranding games were built with Decima, a graphics engine considered one of the best and central to the look and tech of Kojima games. They will have to switch to UE or one of the engines Xbox has. There’s unconfirmed information that Sony/PlayStation made multiple attempts to acquire Kojima Productions, but Hideo Kojima repeatedly turned them down, including the latest offer. If they lost access to Decima, PHYSINT could take even more time to develop while they work on another engine.

PlayStation has officially stepped away from PHYSINT, its planned collaboration with Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions. The game is still in development. Xbox has expanded its partnership with Kojima Productions and will now publish PHYSINT. PlayStation says its relationship with Kojima remains strong and that it hopes to continue working with him on future projects. Sony keeps taking terrible decisions wtf are they doing
