Visionary game designer Hideo Kojima has once again captured the gaming world’s attention with his mysterious upcoming project, OD. During a recent interview with Nikkei Xtrend, Kojima offered tantalizing hints about this enigmatic game, urging fans to watch the latest teaser trailer from the Tokyo Game Show 2025 closely. Kojima’s words suggest that repeated viewings may reveal hidden clues, adding to the intrigue surrounding OD.
The teaser trailer for OD released during Tokyo Game Show 2025 includes a ‘hint’ of some kind that players can discover after watching it carefully again and again.
An Innovative Collaboration
In his discussion, Kojima emphasized that OD represents a ‘completely new medium’ developed in collaboration with Microsoft, which will be publishing the game. This innovative partnership was first announced at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022. Kojima noted that while the game may appear to be a horror title, it employs a unique system crafted entirely within a game engine.
The Creative Minds Behind OD
OD is co-written by acclaimed filmmaker Jordan Peele, known for his work in horror. The game’s cast includes Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer, and Udo Kier, the latter of whom, unfortunately, passed away before completing his performance. The game is expected to leverage Xbox’s cloud gaming technology, although specific details remain under wraps.
Kojima has described the project as risky, openly admitting the possibility that it might not succeed. Nevertheless, the anticipation continues to build as fans eagerly await more information about this groundbreaking title. Following OD, Kojima Productions plans to release PHYSINT, a new stealth IP reminiscent of Metal Gear Solid, in collaboration with PlayStation.
