Kojima Productions has released the first key art for PHYSINT, as well as confirmed three members of the game’s cast. The announcement comes courtesy of the “Beyond the Strand” event.
So far, the cast of PHYSINT includes Charlee Fraser (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga), Ma Dong-seok/Don Lee (Train to Busan, Eternals), and Minami Hanabe (Godzilla Minus One). However, none of the confirmed cast members will play the game’s protagonist. Check out the first look at the protagonist of PHYSINT, via the key art, below:
The key art states the words “Here comes the feeling.” Kojima briefly stated that he was unable to cast for the role due to the recent SAG-AFTRA strikes. He further confirmed that he is not currently ready to reveal who will play the game’s lead.
It’s worth noting that recently, Kojima met Robert Pattinson (The Batman, The Lighthouse, Mickey 17, Tenet) at the Festival de Cannes film festival. On his podcast, he spoke about Pattinson, saying that “we discussed some things, but I can’t really say right now.” Only time will tell if the beloved actor will play PHYSINT‘s protagonist, or if someone else will depict the character.

Recently, Hideo Kojima revealed that PHYSINT will not be released for “five or six years,” according to an interview with French magazine Le Film Français. He will be developing the game, which will be a new action espionage IP, in partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment. During the initial announcement, he stated the following:
“With the full support of SIE, this new action espionage game will use cutting-edge technology and a stellar cast to deliver an experience like no other. Blurring the boundaries between film and games, offering near life-like graphics and a new take on interactive entertainment.”
