Already starting the deep dive - a cursory search on Wikipedia turns up this page: List of intelligence gathering disciplines. 

So, [game] physics + intelligence? A hint that we'll be gathering intel based on the world, I guess? It doesn't say much but I feel like it also says loads, and definitely gets the mind racing. 

I'm not even joking, this might have just become my most anticipated game. I will gladly take Kojima returning to action-espionage over any MGS Remake overseen by Konami any day of the week, and seemingly with a blank cheque from Sony?

Love your optimism.

I don't think we get this in our lifetimes

Kind of nothing new, but also kind of clarification from Kojima on Twitter?

"PHYSINT (working title)" will be the third, new original IP since the establishment of KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS.It is a completely new "Action Espionage" for the next-generation. It will be created using cutting-edge technology arnd the best talents from around the world, both from film and video games. Of course this is an interactive "game", but the look, story, theme, cast, acting, fashion, sound, etc.. are all at the next level of "Digital Entertainment" that could be called a "movie".

During the event it sounded like some weird multimedia project, which I guess it still could be, but that last sentence basically makes it sound like they're being given access to Sony's film spaces and budget to realise this game.

So it's literally Not Metal Gear.  Gotcha.

See you in 2032 on PS6 Pro.
