After Death Stranding missed expectations, Sony reportedly axed Physint because Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear successor is over budget, years away, missing deadlines, and not a true exclusive

Metal Gear is a stealth-action game released in 1987 for PC, NES, and Commodore/Amiga systems, establishing the tactical espionage framework that would define the franchise. Creator Hideo Kojima's work on the series came with professional friction - Konami repeatedly reassigned him to other projects, delaying his next major title, Policenauts, by four years after he initially conceived it.
The game's musical legacy continues to resonate in the industry. Composer Kazuma Jinnouchi, credited for work on Metal Gear's soundtrack alongside major titles including Star Wars and Halo games, has been announced as the lead composer for the upcoming MMORPG Guild Wars 3, suggesting the series' influence extends beyond its own legacy.
