It was kinda big news when it was announced that Sony/PlayStation dropped the publishing duties of Kojima Productions’ next title PHYSINT, and Microsoft/Xbox picked it up, so it’s not a surprise that there were some announcements from TGS 2026 from Kojima and Xbox in regards to the mysterious, obviously big-budget AAA title.
At the Xbox TGS Broadcast, it was revealed that Bill Skarsgård would take on the lead role in the title, and they even released a poster to confirm the fact. Other talent on the project includes Charlee Fraser, Don Lee and Minami Hamabe so far as well.
See the announcement below, and also the TGS Broadcast where it was made.
KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS today confirmed that Bill Skarsgård will portray the lead role in PHYSINT as well as unveiled a new poster featuring Skarsgård and Charlee Fraser. The studio also recently confirmed that PHYSINT will have a new publishing partner, XBOX. Both companies are already collaborating successfully on OD – KNOCK and adding PHYSINT further strengthens their relationship and shared commitment to building great games together. Both KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS and XBOX are excited about this collaboration and are looking forward to bringing PHYSINT to players worldwide.
“I’m delighted to confirm the lead role for PHYSINT will be Bill Skarsgård,” said Hideo Kojima. “We are both long-time fans of each other’s work, and we’ve decided to embark on this new adventure together. The costume fittings, scans, and camera tests we conducted with Bill and Charlee earlier this year gave me tremendous confidence in the direction of the project.”
