Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Kojima Productions posted a video message from Bill Skarsgard about his lead role in PHYSINT. Skarsgard said he has been a fan of Hideo Kojima since childhood and that he looks forward to embarking on a new adventure together. He called Kojima a pioneer in the game industry who fuses film and games. No release timing for PHYSINT has been given.
Kojima Productions announced Skarsgard as the lead at the XBOX Tokyo Game Show 2026 Broadcast on September 17. Two days later, Kojima posted a Japanese-subtitled video from the actor on X. At the announcement, Kojima said he is a fan of Skarsgard and that they would embark on a new adventure together.
The message follows a shift in the game's backing: Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the end of its partnership on September 10, and Kojima Productions announced a partnership with XBOX immediately afterward.
