In addition to the beautiful story trailer for Death Stranding 2the iconic game designer also revealed, at the end of the presentation, who is working on a new spy action game called Physint. The name, however, is still provisional.

According to the post on the social network, Kojima Productions' new IP “will be created with cutting-edge technology and the best talent from around the world, both in cinema and video games.”
