Gaming News The father of Metal Gear Solid promises a new revolution in the infiltration genre with a project that mixes film and video game
Last night the first State of Play of the year took place for PlayStation. The opportunity for Sony’s video game subsidiary to talk about the future of its PS5… but also for Hideo Kojima to talk not about one game but two!
There have been rumors about Death Stranding 2 in recent days. Rumors in the hallways have suggested that it was on the guest list of games unveiled during Sony’s State of Play in January. The rumors were not false as we clearly saw this second part during the conference. Better twice than once! With a nine-minute video, Kojima Productions has attracted many players with this second part, scheduled to be released exclusively on PlayStation 5 in 2025. But this is not the only project from Hideo, founder of the studio and father behind Metal Gear Spy License. He also made an announcement in this sense after the long presentation of DS 2: On The Beach.
Yes, this is a new original license. A next-generation action spy game (…) We have extensive experience with Sony and have developed the spy game genre together for almost 30 years.
This project, called PHYSINT, is described by Hideo Kojima as the culmination of a 40-year career in video games. Which you can expect a lot from, especially since it shouldn’t be limited to a video game experience.
With Physint, Kojima wants to overcome the boundaries between film and video games
As always with Hideo Kojima, expect to be surprised. The PHYSINT project would therefore be the result of 40 years of experience in the video game industry. He himself is convinced of the quality of the project. He even adds the following:
I can’t tell you that much now. We plan to combine the latest cutting-edge technologies while attracting talent from around the world for development. Being a video game, it is of course interactive, but it is also a film in terms of style, story, theme, cast, acting and tone.
Finally, Hideo Kojima and his team hope “Break down the boundaries between film and video game“.
