Overview

• Hideo Kojima confirmed in an IndieWire interview that Physint remains in a very early conceptual phase and that he is developing it entirely on his own.
• Kojima Productions has redirected its studio resources to OD and Kojima said he has begun working directly with the team on the Microsoft-backed title.
• Physint is being positioned as a stealth-action spiritual successor to the Metal Gear Solid series with an estimated five-to-six-year development timeline.
• OD’s development is proceeding despite industry-wide cancellations, with the project continuing under Kojima Productions’ collaboration with Microsoft.
• Both projects have encountered performance-capture delays due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike over AI rights and actor compensation.
