It's been a long wait, but The Game Awards 2023 finally pulled back the curtain on what Hideo Kojima has been working on with Xbox Game Studios! The project is called "OD", and you can watch the first teaser trailer up above.
Here are some official details on what you can expect:
"KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS and XBOX GAME STUDIOS officially announced OD at The Game Awards. World-renowned game creator Hideo Kojima has partnered with Academy Award winning filmmaker Jordan Peele, the acclaimed film director of “Get Out,” “Us,” and “Nope,” who will be one of several talented storytellers involved in the project."
“We are working with Xbox Game Studios and their cloud gaming technology to take on the challenge of creating a very unique, immersive, and totally new style of game – or rather, a new form of media,” said Hideo Kojima, Game Creator and Founder of KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS.
"A HIDEO KOJIMA GAME, OD explores the concept of testing your fear threshold, and what it means to OD on fear – while blurring the boundaries of gaming and film. The new teaser for OD also reveals Sophia Lillis (“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves”), Hunter Schaffer (“Euphoria”) and Udo Kier (“Flesh for Frankenstein”), who will play the lead roles in the upcoming project."
A lot of "OD" is still shrouded in secrecy right now, but Kojima talked a bit more about it at TGA 2023:

Have no clue what I'm supposed to be looking at 😅
SO it stands for Overdose then?
@NintendoByNature
As a famous human falls down the rabbit hole of riches and unreligion and fame and 'artistry'... madness ensues before the hell fire. So, be humble and turn to Jesus's Way instead, before the Great Day of the Lord.
Jordan Peele and Kojima are involved, so I can't wait to see the game in action.
Not Sony so terrible.
Wow! Minblowing! Kojima genius! out of this world, a new media!
Bleh.
@NintendoByNature It's Kojima, that's a given.
So now that both Sony and Microsoft have their own weird Kojima thing can we start getting along for once?
Its Kojima so i'm hyped.
@brn70121 Please, shoes and reason should all be left at the door.
@brn70121 Still waiting for Kojima to collab with Nintendo.
@Hydra_Spectre He's never done that at all.
@brn70121 lol yep
I need this now.
Looking forward to this.
Can't wait to see more of this game.
Loved to hear all the uproar when XBOX GAME STUDIOS showed after the trailer LOL
@anoyonmus Yeah. There was Snake getting into Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which was a personal request from Kojima to Sakurai.
And Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes was coproduced by Nintendo, with Shigeru Miyamoto himself serving as an executive producer. Kojima was a producer but he didn't direct The Twin Snakes.
Erm, well ok. That's a thing that someone did
@GhanaViking people these days, man.
No clue what this is about LOL
When do we ever have any idea of what Kojima’s games are about on first reveal, that’s his style, his mystique. But he’s never failed to elevate the medium and push it to unknown areas, even if as games they are sometimes lacking. The industry needs MORE unique ideas like his, not less. A Kojima collaboration with Jordan Peele has my attention.
I saw this last night and thought "what the hell is this?"
No interest In.this whatsoever I don't like kojimas games at all other than the metal gear solids
The game is probably good but this trailer sucks lol. 2026 or 2027 release? 😪
That trailer didn't do anything for me, but reading they are using Xbox Cloud Gaming alone makes this one a HARD pass.
@Steel76 Exactly. Had me at Kojima, but lost me at Peele
Delighted he's trying somdthing new. Tough for me to be excited for it as its specifically for cloud gaming, which I tend not to use.
As expected we learnt very little of what the game is, so tough to be excited for it other than to know its coming.
Kojima always ends up delivering something interesting, so it wil be interesting whenever its delivered...
This looks absolutely dreadful. It's kojima, so I expect it will turn out even worse than it looks. He may even top Death Stranding.
@Broosh Why?
Sea of Thieves uses the Cloud to calculate the wave simulation (I think the weather too) and it’s the most realistic behavior I have ever seen in a video game! It works so well, you would think it’s all happening natively.
It really does feel like being out in the open ocean.
I always take anything Kojima says with a grain of salt. He has to be one of the most hyperbolic people in the industry as everything is "like nothing ever before." Like Death Stranding, I am sure this game will easily fit in pre determined genres of gaming. The fact that they keep reiterated that is actually a game has me a little concerned. Videogames don't usually need to advertise that there is a game element somewhere in their product.
I love his work but Death Stranding pushed the limits of cinematographic cut scenes. The game had almost 30 mins of cut scenes just in the beginning.
@GamingFan4Lyf That actually is pretty cool, I had no idea! I doubt it would be implemented in a similar fashion with OD, but I hope I'm wrong. Guess we can do nothing but speculate for now 🤷♂️
I get Jeff is in love, and love makes us all do weird things, but the segment was very difficult to watch.
Very intriguing
This is just another trailer for Epic's Meta Human
@DennisReynolds
Yes because UPS Delivery Worker aka Death Stranding was soooo good
@TheCrafter1578
At least Peele can tell a story that makes sense
@Moby
Suicide Squad Kills The Justice League has about an hour and 40 mins of cutscenes in the first 2 hours of the game. The Alpha Stress Test was not what I thought and it was just a movie with very little gameplay
I don't like it already
@ZuneTattooGuy lol, yeah I agree. But that still doesn't mean its a good story.
@ZuneTattooGuy Yeah it was fantastic and one of my favourite games of last gen. Great story and themes that nicely tied in with what was happening in the real world, a great gorgeus world to explore, an amazing movement system unlike any other where every step you take actually matters and a very unique wholesome MP side.
@DennisReynolds
It was bloated nonsense made by a games designer who is so full of himself he couldn't see what he made was the least amount of fun a human can have
@ZuneTattooGuy Well that's your opinion mine is clearly different.
