The unveiling teaser of Hideo Kojima’s upcoming game, OD, was probably one of the most thrilling parts of the Game Awards 2023. Several years have passed since the announcement of Kojima Productions and Xbox. Keep reading this article as we’ll review the first product of these two well-known video gaming brands.

Uncovering the Essence of True Fear

As you may know, the trailer of Kojima’s new game, OD, has been released. Last year, a leaker claimed to have seen Kojima’s next project, Overdose, in a video. Nonetheless, this game, which promises to uncover the “essence of true fear,” will be available to gamers soon. As always, Kojima seeks to apply his passion for the cinema to push the boundaries of video games.

In this regard, we already know that we will see the artistic performances of Hollywood’s leading actors as well as the participation of Oscar-winning writers. Because of his passion for developing this game, Kojima has chosen to use Microsoft’s cloud technology. Furthermore, this game developer is working with Unreal Engine 5 for the first time.

Although paying too much attention to promises and ads is never a prudent strategy, Kojima’s words have already piqued players’ interest. Kojima believes that this game has the potential to break new ground in terms of media! In other words, as with the director’s previous video game creations, specific parts engage players more while others may keep gamers more passive.

Who Is Working on The Game OD?

Jordan Peele, the well-known Hollywood actor, and director known for films such as Get Out, Us, and Nope, is currently working on the game OD. Previously, Kojima collaborated with Lea Seydoux, Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, and others. As a result, it’s not surprising that, in addition to Peele’s storytelling abilities, he employs the acting talents of people like Sofia Lilis and Hunter Schaefer in this project.

Of course, we don’t have an exhaustive list of OD game actors yet. Kojima will reveal the cast of this project sooner or later. Users throughout the world are currently busy decoding trailer details; these subtleties will more than ever define the qualitative level of technology deployed, just like MetaHuman. The famed game designer’s entrance through a glowing door divided fans into various groups, each with their own hypotheses.

On the other hand, we still don’t know when the game will be released. Currently, Death Stranding 2 is the studio’s primary focus. So, let us assume that gamers will have to wait years for OD. But, in the end, which platforms will OD be available on? Given Microsoft’s large investment, we can now speculate. Whether we like it or not, this title will only be available on Xbox Series X and S and PCs.
