Hideo Kojima announced today that he will begin developing a new action espionage IP in partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment once development on Death Stranding 2 – On The Beach has wrapped up. That game is set to release in 2025, so it’s likely that full production will begin sometime next year. The project is officially titled PHYSINT (Tentative Title).

Sam—with companions by his side—sets out on a new journey to save humanity from extinction. Join them as they traverse a world beset by otherworldly enemies, obstacles and a haunting question: should we have connected? Step by step, legendary game creator Hideo Kojima changes the world once again.”
