Hideo Kojima’s Early Look at Physint Reveals More Than You May Have Thought

by

Though best known for *Metal Gear Solid*, Hideo Kojima is returning to the world of stealth action with *Physint*, a new game that will be available only on PlayStation. *Physint* is one of several original games Kojima Productions has created since becoming independent from Konami. The studio previously released the *Death Stranding* games and is currently developing *OD* for Xbox.

It’s no surprise that Hideo Kojima’s new game, currently known as *Physint*, is generating a lot of excitement among gamers. Very little is known about the game itself, but a recent poster revealed at Kojima’s anniversary event offered a first glimpse. The poster shows a person in technical clothing holding a submachine gun, set in a city or industrial environment, with the tagline “Here Comes the Feeling.” It also confirmed that *Physint* is just a placeholder title and will likely be changed before the game is released. While the poster is visually striking and interesting, it hints at a deeper complexity than it initially appears.

Breaking Down Physint’s New Poster

Physint’s Protagonist and Setting

The city skyline in the background hints that the new game, *Physint*, will be set in a city, unlike the wilder landscapes of games like *MGS5* and *MGS3*. The main character on the poster is wearing a long, high-collared coat – a significant departure from Solid Snake’s streamlined sneaking suit. This suggests *Physint* might feature social stealth mechanics, similar to *Assassin’s Creed*, where players will need to disguise themselves and blend into crowds.

Many fans believe the person featured on the *Physint* poster is Robert Pattinson, based on facial features and past hints from Hideo Kojima about private talks with the actor. As of now, neither Kojima nor anyone else involved has confirmed or denied these rumors.

The character’s clothing is surprisingly complex. On one side, his coat seems to dissolve, showing a practical, military-style outfit underneath with tight fitting clothes and pouches. This might suggest he uses advanced camouflage that projects a normal appearance for blending in, or it could just be a stylistic choice to show two sides to his work. Regardless, this split between casual and tactical clothing hints that the game, *Physint*, will involve players using both normal and military outfits, which likely means stealth will be a key part of the gameplay.

What Does ‘Physint’ Even Mean?

As we’ve said before, *Physint* is just a temporary name, but it’s still important to the story and ideas behind the game. The name itself isn’t a real word, but it seems to be a blend of “physical” and “intelligence,” which could have many meanings. It might describe the skills the main character needs to succeed, or it could hint at something bigger about the game’s world. The tagline, “Here Comes the Feeling,” suggests that how things *feel* will be a key part of the game, whether in how you play or the story itself, and the name *Physint* implies these feelings might go beyond just the physical.

A notable feature of the *Physint* poster is how its title is displayed. It’s divided into three distinct parts.

  • PH
  • Y
  • SINT

This detail, like the jacket, might just be a design element, or it could be a hidden signal. The single letter “Y” is particularly noticeable – it could represent a choice, a division, or a split between the body and mind. The combination “Ph” relates to measuring acidity, and “sint” means “angry” in Norwegian, but it’s unclear if these connections are intentional or meaningful. As we learn more about *Physint*, this fragmented presentation might become clearer.
