Kojima is separating the two projects by how much he shows: keeping OD's details closed while confirming that PHYSINT is far enough along to have a finished plot.
Reporting from 2 sources: Denfaminicogamer, Game Spark.
On the radio program Koji10, streamed October 5 on the official TBS Radio YouTube channel, Hideo Kojima said he wants to release the single-player horror game OD "without saying anything," and that he does not really want to put out a teaser. He also said the plot for the espionage action game PHYSINT is complete, and that development continues with Xbox as a new partner.
Kojima gave few specifics about OD beyond a release posture, saying on Koji10 that he does not really want to put out a teaser for the single-player horror game. PHYSINT, the espionage action game, is further along on paper: the plot is complete, and development continues with Xbox as a new partner.
The casting for both titles also came up on the program. Bill Skarsgård, who stars in PHYSINT, was introduced to Kojima through Woodkid, whose real name is Yoann Lemoine, after Skarsgård visited the studio and found Kojima Productions merchandise piled up. Sofia Lillis was cast in OD after Jordan Peele recommended her, and Norman Reedus was involved in contacting Hunter Schafer.
