Kojima Productions founder Hideo Kojima confirmed Swedish actor Bill Skarsgård as the lead protagonist of Physint, the studio’s upcoming action-espionage game, during the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2026 broadcast. Skarsgård is known for his roles in It, John Wick: Chapter 4, and Nosferatu.

Kojima Productions has spoken out about reports surrounding PlayStation’s decision to back out of Physint, specifically from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier. During an interview with IGN involving founder Hideo Kojima, it wrote that the claims didn’t come from “any official or on-the-recordkepticism.​”
