Bill Skarsgård has joined the cast of “Physint,” an upcoming action-espionage video game from creator Hideo Kojima. The casting announcement was made during the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2026 Broadcast earlier in the week. Skarsgård will take on the lead role, joining previously announced cast members Charlee Fraser, Don Lee, and Minami Hamabe.
Kojima described the project as the third original intellectual property from his production company and characterized it as representing the culmination of his four-decade career in video game development. According to a statement from Kojima Productions, the game will leverage advanced technology and an established cast to deliver an action-espionage experience intended to establish new standards for the genre. Kojima noted that he and Skarsgård are mutual admirers of each other’s work and expressed confidence in the project’s direction based on costume fittings, scans, and camera tests conducted with Skarsgård and Fraser earlier in the year.
The game’s publication by Xbox follows an announcement from the previous week that shifted “Physint” away from PlayStation, Kojima Productions’ longtime publishing partner. Xbox is also publishing “OD,” Kojima’s next scheduled release, a horror game created in collaboration with filmmaker Jordan Peele that will feature actors Sophia Lillis and Hunter Schafer.
Skarsgård is recognized for his role as Pennywise in Warner Bros.’ “It” film and television franchise. His recent filmography includes appearances in “Dead Man’s Wire,” “The Death of Robin Hood,” and upcoming projects including “The Mosquito Bowl” and “Lords of War,” the latter co-starring Nicolas Cage.
