Hideo Kojima avslöjade en ny skärmdump och detaljer om hans kommande skräckspel, OD

After the release of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach last year, the legendary game designer Hideo Kojima has now begun working on his next, highly anticipated innovative projects. One of these is a horror game titled OD, being developed in collaboration with Xbox Game Studios. The game's screenplay is co-written by Kojima and Jordan Peele, the acclaimed filmmaker known for movies such as Get Out, Us, and Nope.

Entertainment Weekly published an extensive report focused on upcoming Xbox releases, which included coverage of OD. In particular, Hideo Kojima shared a new screenshot from the forthcoming horror game, evoking the spirit of the canceled Silent Hills, and revealed some details. According to the game designer, Kojima Productions has already begun motion capture sessions with actors for the characters. Kojima also mentioned that the idea for OD originated during the development of the original Death Stranding. He stated that his goal is to make OD the scariest game ever created. The highlights from his interview with EW you can check out below:

“I wanted to do something new. I wanted to do something different. I had this OD concept since I was working on DS1 and I was working on it just by myself. I can't reveal much detail, but it's something that no one has ever seen before. A new game system.

I pitched to many people, to the big companies, and also to the up-and-coming companies. All of them said the same thing. They said that I'm crazy, and that they really don't understand the concept — that they will not be able to do it. It was Phil Spencer, the former Xbox CEO and friend of the creator, who understood what he was trying to achieve. So does Sharma, who calls it a "deeply moving game. I've got great artists and creatives that can pick a great game better than I can, and so I want to give it space, but most importantly, I think it just represents another kind of game.

I wanted to go beyond the limit of the 'scariness' that other games had reached. It's a single-player game, and I wanted to make it as scary as possible. But for those that might stop playing when it gets too scary, I have thought of a system that will allow them to keep going. I can't say much more, because it'll give too much of a hint on the system, and I could get in trouble for saying too much!"

Currently, it is known that the cast of OD includes three confirmed actors: Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer, and the late Udo Kier, who was 3D-scanned before his passing in November 2025. No details about the plot, gameplay, or release date have been revealed yet, but judging by Kojima's comments, we can expect something truly unforgettable.
