Hideo Kojima Reveals He’s Ready to ‘Take On’ Directing a Film — but Not Until PlayStation Game Physint Is Finished, and That’ll Take ‘Another 5 or 6 Years’

Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear spiritual successor, Physint, is still “another five or six years” away from release.

That’s according to Kojima himself, who told Le Film Francais that his aspirations to direct a movie were on hold at least until he had finished developing his first “action espionage” game since he very publicly parted ways with Konami in 2015.

“I’ve had so many offers since I left Konami, with serious conditions to develop games in my independent studio,” Kojima said, as translated by ResetEra member Red Kong XIX. “Besides Death Stranding 2, there’s also Physint in development. That will take me another five or six years.

“But maybe after that, I could finally decide to take on a film,” the director said. “I grew up with cinema. Directing would be, in a way, a tribute to it. Also, I’m getting older, and I’d prefer to do it while I’m still young!”

PlayStation Studios boss Herman Hulst announced Physint back in January 2024, but since then, news has been sparse. Interestingly, at the time, Kojima alluded that it would also be a movie, but later clarified on X/Twitter that the “look, story, theme, cast, acting, fashion, sound, etc… are all at the next level of ‘Digital Entertainment’ that could be called a ‘movie.’ ”

This is one of several projects Kojima and his studio are working on, alongside Death Stranding 2 and OD. The latter is a new IP in collaboration with Xbox Game Studios, with actress Hunter Schafer and filmmaker Jordan Peele attached to the project. Kojima is also involved in A24’s film adaptation of the original Death Stranding.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, is set to arrive next month on June 26 and the franchise’s star, actor Norman Reedus, recently teased a key tidbit about the future film adaptation, saying in an interview with IGN that “of course” he would play himself in the movie.

And, hot on the heels of revealing a number of discarded video game ideas and even an idea for a ‘Forgetting Game’ where the main character gradually forgets important information and abilities if you take too long a break from playing, Kojima last week revealed he had left his staff a USB stick of game ideas for after he dies.
