I’ll be playing PHYSINT, a new and original game created and developed by the great Hideo Kojima. I’ve been a huge fan of Hideo since I was a kid, so I’m excited to start this creative journey with him. He’s a true pioneer and author in the video game space and really brings movies and video games together, so I’m really excited about this project.
