Plans to make a full entertainment franchise
Hideo Kojima has recently shared his future plans for his new IP, Physint. This upcoming espionage action game is getting a whole lot bigger.
As Xbox has announced its new partnership with Kojima Productions, Kojima now wants to make this new IP into anime, movies, TV shows, music and more.
This announcement was also made after Sony announced that they are stepping away from funding this project, which made Kojima look for a new partner.

More than a video game
In a recent interview with IGN, Kojima explained his plans and why he never intended Physint to simply remain a video game.
During his meeting with XBOX, he pitched this IP that can evolve across multiple forms of entertainment.
His goal is to build a universe that will expand beyond gaming and that is through films, TV shows, anime, dramas, comics and even music.
According to reports, Xbox supports this idea and will continue to invest in this project. Hideo Kojima also revealed that the game has reached an advanced stage of planning. They have also recently announced the cast for Physint as well, starring Bill Skarsgård in the lead role.
Will Physint release on PS5?
In the interview, it was also made clear that Xbox now holds the publishing rights for the game. This means that Xbox will decide whether they want this game to be an exclusive or multiplatform.
When asked about a potential PlayStation release, Kojima replied that this decision is no longer in his hands and that Xbox will make the publishing decision.
Conclusion
