Everything we know about OD, Hideo Kojima’s Xbox horror game
Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima is a very busy guy. Since parting ways with Metal Gear publisher Konami and establishing Kojima Productions as an independent studio in 2015, Kojima has released Death Stranding in partnership with Sony, and announced three more titles: Death Stranding 2, action-espionage game Physint (also with Sony), and OD, a horror game published by Xbox Game Studios.
Not much is known for sure about OD, other than it will utilize Xbox’s cloud technology to make something (in Kojima’s words) “groundbreaking” and “immersive” that “no one has done before.” It will also be a collaboration between Kojima and filmmaker Jordan Peele (Get Out, Nope), as well as other unnamed creatives. Read on for every detail we’ve been able to glean about OD.
No idea, sorry. Kojima Productions and Xbox Game Studios have not yet announced a release date for OD. One thing we will say is that, with the studio’s Death Stranding 2 set to be released in 2025, it’s highly unlikely OD will come out before 2026 at the earliest.
It’s hard to say! Since it’s published by Xbox Game Studios, the assumption is that OD will be released on Xbox Series X and Windows PC, as well as taking pride of place on the Game Pass subscription service, as all in-house Xbox games currently do. But it’s notable that no platforms are mentioned in the trailer. Depending on how long it takes to make, it’s not impossible that OD will come out on the next generation of Xbox hardware.
It’s also possible that Microsoft will choose to publish it on other, competing platforms, such as PlayStation — that’s a choice it’s been making recently for Xbox titles like Sea of Thieves, and, reportedly, no Microsoft game is considered off the table for multiplatform publishing. That said, the point of signing a Hideo Kojima game to your platform is the prestige and press coverage he brings, as opposed to massive sales. So, that would be a strong argument in favor of OD remaining Xbox console-exclusive.
