As PHYSINT Begins Early Development, Hideo Kojima Visits Long-Time Ally Guerrilla Games

But seeing as he was nearby, he stopped off at long-time collaborator Guerrilla Games’ office in Amsterdam, where he paused for photos with Sony bigwig Hermen Hulst and studio director Jan-Bart van Beek, among others.

It’s unclear whether Kojima was visiting as a courtesy call or for business, but we suspect Decima may have been on the agenda as he begins work earnestly on PHYSINT.

We know the espionage action game, which will be published by Sony, is still very early in development – but the auteur will need to decide whether he’s going to continue working with Guerrilla’s tech or not.

His upcoming horror game OD, for example, will use Unreal Engine 5.

But Kojima has achieved incredible things with Decima in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and given the studio’s continued partnership with PlayStation, he may choose to build on that with PHYSINT.

Guerrilla will also be investing heavily in Decima as well, of course, with a third entry in the Horizon franchise likely deep in development now – as well as a long-rumoured multiplayer spin-off.

Would you have liked to have been a fly on the wall during Kojima’s meetings with Guerrilla? Let us know in the comments section below.
