In a message shared to X, Kojima provided eager fans with an update on the status of his upcoming projects. While much of this statement centered around Death Stranding 2, Kojima also briefly touched on Physint. Specifically, he said that Physint was in the process of casting earlier this year, but ended up stalling after the SAG strike. As a result, casting for Phsyint hasn’t yet concluded, but Kojima hopes to continue the process next year.
“In the second half of the year, scanning and filming were suspended due to the SAG strike. Casting was also suspended for Physint due to the strike,” Kojima said. “We hope to resume next year. […] Thank you for your support this past year. Have a great New Year.”
In short, it’s pretty surprising to hear that Physint is already in the process of trying to assemble its cast. Given that the game is likely to not be released until 2030 or beyond, it would seem that it’s still a bit early to lock down actors and actresses for a project that likely only exists on paper. Still, given Kojima’s propensity to work with stars from Hollywood, perhaps he’s starting the casting process for Phsyint far earlier than normal so that the cast he lands on can free up time in their busy schedules.

Regardless of what might be happening with Physint behind the scenes, it can confidently be expected that the game won’t receive a new trailer or teaser of any sort for a few more years. In the interim, though, Death Stranding 2 is on track to launch on PS5 in 2025.
