Bill Skarsgard to star in next game from Hideo Kojima, 'Physint'
- On Thursday, Hideo Kojima announced actor Bill Skarsg will star in Physint during the XBOX Tokyo Game Show 2026 broadcast, with Xbox now publishing the title after Sony's departure.
- Reports from last week suggest Sony stepped away from the project due to concerns over "budget, potential profitability and exclusivity," prompting Xbox to secure publishing rights for both Physint and OD.
- Bill Skarsg joins cast members Charlee Fraser, Don Lee, and Minami Hamabe on the project, as Kojima confirmed production is "proceeding on schedule" following costume fittings earlier this year.
- Kojima met Xbox boss Asha Sharma in Redmond, Washington, earlier this year to discuss shared goals for digital entertainment, signaling deeper strategic alignment between the studio and the platform.
- The game remains years from completion, though Kojima described Physint as "the culmination of more than 40 years of my career," promising to redefine the action-espionage genre.
