Developed by Kojima Productions and now published by Xbox, PHYSINT is Hideo Kojima’s upcoming action‑spy title for PC and Xbox Series, with a release date still to be announced. Here’s what we know so far.

Hideo Kojima entrusts the helm of his new project to Microsoft! Kojima Productions has formalized the extension of its partnership with Xbox, which will publish PHYSINT, an action-spy game planned for PC and Xbox Series on an undetermined date. This strategic move clarifies the studio's organization around this hybrid title that blends video game and cinema, coming after an earlier rapprochement with Sony Interactive Entertainment.

The project is conceived as a hybrid work that blends the video game industry with cinema, drawing on technical capabilities from both sectors. Kojima Productions is aiming for a level of visual fidelity and a narrative structure on par with a cinematic production, though details of the artistic direction have not yet been disclosed.

The deal between Xbox and the Japanese studio covers the publishing of the jeu vidéo as well as opportunities for adaptations in other media, including television or cinema. The project is still in the early design stages, with the teams prioritizing the completion of other studio productions.

The exact scope of the production schedule and the content of the initial technical demonstrations will be the focus of further updates from the American publisher and the developers.
