Kojima's New Spy Game Means Metal Gear Solid Can't Play It Safe Anymore

Hideo Kojima's next espionage-action game, Physint, is going to be intentionally distinct from Metal Gear Solid, despite what fantasies some fans may harbor. This change in direction isn't exactly hard to predict—Kojima's first post-MGS game was Death Stranding, which is wildly different from Metal Gear in every way. But the famed game-maker said as much himself on a recent episode of his KOJI10 podcast. In reference toPhysint and Metal Gear, Kojima had this to say about the former: "It's about spies, but I want plenty of new ideas and a different kind of spy action. It's quite different."
