Bill Skarsgård will star as the lead in Hideo Kojima‘s upcoming action-espionage video game “Physint.”

The casting news comes on the heels of last week’s announcement that “Physint” would now be published by Xbox after being scrapped at Kojima Productions’ longtime partner publisher, PlayStation.

Kojima (the creator of the “Death Stranding” and “Metal Gear” video game franchises) was already working with Xbox to publish “OD,” his next planned release before “Physint.” The title is a horror game made in collaboration with Jordan Peele which features a cast including Sophia Lillis and Hunter Schafer.
