The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Stated as firm, per news.xbox.com[3][6]: "Join us on Thursday, September 17 at 7:00pm JST (3am Pacific / 6am Eastern / 11am UK) for the XBOX Tokyo Game Show 2026 Broadcast"; Kojima appeared "just when it appeared that the broadcast had come to a close", and XBOX's YouTube live stream ended at 10:41 UTC.
The organiser's site gives the show's venue, Makuhari Messe (Exhibition Halls 1-11, International Conference Hall), with business days on 17-18 September and public days on 19-21 September 2026.[1]
Xbox[1][6] Wire's own story on the reveal: Kojima appeared as the broadcast closed to confirm Skarsgård as Physint's lead, share a poster he shot of Skarsgård and Charlee Fraser, and show OD - KNOCK performance capture with Sophia Lillis and Hunter Schafer.
Kojima Productions' press release, dated 17 September 2026, quotes Kojima confirming Skarsgård, names the ensemble cast revealed at the studio's 10th-anniversary event in Tokyo on 23 September 2025, and points to the Xbox[1][3][6] Tokyo Game Show 2026 Broadcast for the full announcement.
Variety independently reports Kojima announcing the casting during the Xbox[1][3][6] Tokyo Game Show 2026 Broadcast, with the cast of Fraser, Don Lee and Minami Hamabe and OD as Kojima's Xbox-published release before Physint.
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
