The materials include a finalized plot synopsis and concept art. The document cover features the tagline "A New Cold War Begins" and lists three intelligence-gathering methods: HUMINT, SIGINT, and OSINT. Kojima has not revealed how these mechanics will work within the core gameplay loop. Kojima also confirmed Bill Skarsgård will star as the main character.
