Kojima’s ambition is wild—dude’s juggling three massive projects while casually planning to drop Physint in his late 60s. If anyone can make a five-year wait feel like a hype train, it’s the guy who turned cardboard boxes into legendary stealth tech.

Kojima’s still playing the long game, literally—2030 feels like a lifetime away, but if anyone can make the wait worth it, it’s him. Here’s hoping Physint becomes the swan song that redefines espionage games all over again.
