Physint has been hyped as Kojima Productions' return to "tactical espionage action" or, in other words, Hideo Kojima's return to making stealth action games in the style of Metal Gear Solid. It's been a PlayStation exclusive since its reveal in 2024, but things have changed dramatically: after Sony tried to cancel the project entirely in June this year, Kojima has found refuge with Microsoft.
"In mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the Physint project," Hideo Kojima wrote on X.
"Physint is an important project both to me personally and to Kojima Productions. Determined to keep the project alive, we have spent the last three months searching tirelessly for a new partner. In the course of seeking advice and pursuing negotiations with people across many fields, we found in Xbox a partner with whom we share a common vision for the future, and we have decided to team up with them once again.
"Please rest assured that development of Physint, our genre-defining action-espionage title, is ongoing and will continue moving forward."
