SIE

SIE's most recent confirmed release is Until Dawn 2, which SIE listed for January 28, 2027 on PS5 with Firesprite developing in place of Supermassive Games. SIE's earlier PlayStation Studios attachment to PHYSINT no longer holds after Xbox took over publishing that Kojima Productions title.

Synthesized from 26 Yomimono stories · updated 1h ago

SIE's coverage in these stories is thin and split across two projects. Until Dawn 2 -The Tragedy of the Cursed Island- is dated for January 28, 2027 on PS5, per an update to the official website. The update names Firesprite as developer in place of Supermassive Games, with AdHoc Studio handling story. The plot follows eight young people running Dead True, a paranormal video channel known for fake ghost videos, who land a TV station contract and shoot on Aki Island in the South Pacific, where they meet real supernatural phenomena. The sequel keeps the Butterfly Effect branching structure and Peter Stormare as Dr. Hill.

The other thread concerns PHYSINT. The spy action title directed by Hideo Kojima was announced in February 2024 with PlayStation Studios attached. By the September 17, 2026 announcement of Bill Skarsgård as lead during the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2026 Broadcast, Xbox had taken over publishing. SIE does not appear in that casting announcement. Skarsgård plays the protagonist, joins Charlie Fraser, Ma Dong-seok, and Minami Hamabe in the cast, and the teaser visual uses photos Kojima took of Skarsgård and Fraser during costume fittings, scans, and camera tests. The same message noted that performance capture and ADR on the horror game OD resumed this year after the SAG-AFTRA strike suspension.

Between them, the record establishes one dated SIE release with a changed developer and one Kojima Productions project that moved away from SIE's publishing side. Coverage does not give sales, staffing, or other SIE titles.

Bill Skarsgård Confirmed as Lead of Kojima's PHYSINT

Kojima Productions announced on September 17, 2026, during the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2026 Broadcast, that Bill Skarsgård will play the lead in PHYSINT, the new spy action title directed by Hideo Kojima. Skarsgård plays the protagonist, the character the player controls. A new teaser visual uses photos Kojima took himself of Skarsgård and Charlie Fraser during costume fittings, scans, and camera tests held earlier this year. Skarsgård joins a cast that already includes Fraser, Ma Dong-seok, and Minami Hamabe, whose involvement was announced earlier. Kojima said he had long been a fan of Skarsgård's work and that Skarsgård is also a fan of his, and that the tests left him confident in the project's direction. Casting, actor scans, and work with outside creators are ongoing, and more cast announcements are planned. In the same message, Kojima said performance capture and ADR recording on the horror game OD resumed this year after the SAG-AFTRA strike suspension.
