Hideo Kojima’s upcoming stealth game Physint, which was set to be published by PlayStation Studios, will now be handled by Xbox.
Kojima Productions and Sony Interactive Entertainment first announced Physint, which is described as a “brand-new, original IP” and a “next-generation action espionage game”, back in 2024.
In a statement posted on X, Kojima said that Sony had told him it was cancelling the game three months ago, and he has since been trying to find a new partner to work with in order to keep it alive.
“As confirmed earlier through our official channels, in mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the Physint project,” he said.
“Physint is an important project both to me personally and to Kojima Productions. Determined to keep the project alive, we have spent the last three months searching tirelessly for a new partner.
“In the course of seeking advice and pursuing negotiations with people across many fields, we found in Xbox a partner with whom we share a common vision for the future, and we have decided to team up with them once again.
“Please rest assured that development of Physint, our genre-defining action-espionage title, is ongoing and will continue moving forward.”
