- He grew up playing and admiring Metal Gear Solid.
- His “eight hours” comment may not reveal the game’s format.

## Summary

Bill Skarsgård says he grew up admiring Hideo Kojima and is excited to lead Physint, Kojima’s upcoming spy action game described as a spiritual successor to Metal Gear Solid. He praised Kojima as a film-fluent auteur and a pioneer who keeps exploring new creative territory, saying the work is developing into a form of world building that players experience.

Skarsgård said he played every Metal Gear Solid game from the original PlayStation release through the latest main entry. He described Physint as offering “eight hours worth of narrative”, but that may not indicate how much of the game will be cutscenes: Metal Gear Solid 4 had about nine hours of them, while Metal Gear Solid 5 and Death Stranding combine story with extensive gameplay. Other actors associated with Kojima projects, including Hunter Schafer and Sophia Lillis, have also praised his games.
