First announced at a State of Play presentation last year, Kojima announced that his studio will start working on a new action espionage game, codenamed Physint, following Death Stranding 2's release. As per Kojima, the game will "transcend the barriers between film and video games."

Hideo Kojima has announced his two upcoming games, OD and Physint, have been delayed due to the SAG-AFTRA strike alongside giving updates about Death Stranding 2.

Hideo Kojima has revealed the ongoing video game actors strike has affected production on his Xbox game as well as his upcoming action espionage title for Sony.

Kojima Productions games OD and Physint were affected by SAG-AFTRA strikes this year, causing filming and casting delays. The strike is still ongoing, but Hideo Kojima has "hope" that production will be back on track next year.

One project that hit a bit of a snag was Overdose. Kojima shared how the game was in development, with actor and environment scanning. However, the latter was suspended in the second half of the year “due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.”

Game designer Hideo Kojima provided an update on his in-development games, including Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, OD, and Physint. Starting with the latter two, both were impacted by the SAG-AFTRA strike for video game actors, which began in July 2024 and remains ongoing.

Legendary gaming auteur Hideo Kojima says that two of his upcoming projects, OD and Physint, have been heavily affected by ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes.
