Bill Skarsgard to Lead Hideo Kojima's Physint

Bill Skarsgard joins Physint's cast, but Hideo Kojima's stealth-action game remains several years from release.

Bill Skarsgard will play the unnamed lead character in Physint, Hideo Kojima's upcoming stealth-action game. Kojima announced the casting on September 17, 2026, while confirming that the project is still several years from release.

Skarsgard joins Charlee Fraser, Don Lee and Minami Hamabe in the cast. Behind-the-scenes footage from Physint's early production was also shown during the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2026 broadcast. The game's poster carries the tagline "The Next Cold War Begins."

Kojima said Physint is making steady progress, including its casting, talent scans and collaborations with outside creators. The official announcement offers an update on the project, but not a release date.

OD remains on schedule

Development on OD is progressing smoothly and production is proceeding on schedule. Performance capture and ADR recording were paused because of the previous year's SAG-AFTRA strike, but the game stars Sophie Lillis and Hunter Schafer and is intended to test the thresholds of fear.
