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.

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

PlayStation reportedly pulled out of Hideo Kojima's ‘PHYSINT’ due to 3 reasons: • PlayStation didn't want to invest more money in a game that wouldn’t be permanently exclusive to PS consoles • The ‘Death Stranding’ games didn’t meet PlayStation's revenue expectations • The game was tracking to be over budget after missing some deadlines (Source:

Kojima said that PlayStation was going to cancel Physint three months ago and he has been looking for a partner ever since. Yet Sony funded Concord, Marathon and this new Horizon game nobody asked for, and refused to fund a Metal Gear spiritual successor gamers have wanted for years. Sony can't fall any lower. Thank God Asha stepped in to support Kojima.

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.

Game designer Hideo Kojima shocked fans by saying his next game, 'Physint,' will be published by Xbox instead of PlayStation. Bloomberg News has the scoop on what happened and why.

The day isn’t yet over for Sony, new footage from closed tests “Project Espresso”, the reported codename for FAIRGAME$. They stopped funding Kojima Productions Physint today, but the same day they have started rolling out betas for another live-service game no one asked for. I’ve watched the trailer and it’s just another generic extraction shooter. Can they stop funding these things and make good games

Xbox is expanding its partnership with video game industry legend Hideo Kojima. The “Death Stranding” and “Metal Gear” creator has switched the publishing partner on his upcoming game “Physint” to Microsoft’s Xbox from its original home at Sony’s PlayStation.
