Metal Gear Solid fans will be excited to learn that series creator Hideo Kojima is developing a brand-new stealth action game for PlayStation called Physint. Kojima Productions' latest projects have seen the legendary developer stray from his stealth action roots, with open world exploration game Death Stranding and Xbox console exclusive horror game OD, so longtime fans will likely be excited to see him return to the genre that made him famous.

Kojima innovated the stealth action genre with the Metal Gear games. The series reached new heights with Metal Gear Solid on PlayStation 1, which is widely considered one of the most important and innovative games ever made. Metal Gear Solid was followed by a string of sequels that also earned near-universal acclaim. Considering Kojima's legendary work on the Metal Gear Solid franchise, it's safe to say that many will be excited to see him tackle a new stealth action game.

What to Expect From Kojima's OD Game in 2024

Since OD has been officially revealed with a cryptic teaser trailer, players can expect to learn more about Kojima Productions' newest game in 2024.

Kojima announced his new stealth action game after showing off a Death Stranding 2 trailer that confirmed that game's 2025 release window. The new stealth action game was described as a "next-generation action espionage game" and it was said that development "will begin in earnest" after the release of Death Stranding 2. "I am confident that this title will be the culmination of my work," Kojima said. Specifics on what Physint will be about were not shared during the State of Play, but Kojima did say that he plans on using cutting-edge technology and "talent from around the world" to make it. "With this title, we hope to transcend the barriers between film and video games."

I am confident that this title will be the culmination of my work.

The choice to label the new stealth action game from Kojima Productions as a "next-generation" title is an interesting one, to say the least. Kojima Productions currently has two major products in the works. Besides 2025's Death Stranding 2, there's also OD, which is being made in collaboration with Jordan Peele. Since development on the new stealth action game isn't going to ramp up until after Death Stranding 2 is complete, one has to imagine that there's a very good possibility that the game will be released for the PlayStation 6, as opposed to the PlayStation 5.

Upcoming Hideo Kojima Games

  • Death Stranding 2 (PS5) - 2025
  • OD (PC/Xbox) - TBA
  • Untitled Stealth Action Game (TBA) - TBA

Reports indicate that the PS6 will likely launch in 2028. Unless Kojima Productions is able to produce the new game within three years, then it wouldn't be surprising at all to see the game land on Sony's next console. With the game having yet to truly start development, though, that remains to be seen.
