Rumors have been swirling that Xbox had partnered with Hideo Kojima for a new exclusive game release for well over a year. It was difficult to take the rumor seriously, however, considering the mountain of rumors that always surround Kojima. As of the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022, that rumor can now be confirmed. Xbox is officially partnering with Kojima to develop a game built on the Xbox platform's cloud gaming technology.
To the dismay of Xbox and Kojima fans, the game being worked on was not officially unveiled during the presentation. Rather, Kojima himself made an appearance in a short video. All Kojima was able to share is that the partnership between himself and Xbox is real and that the game Kojima Productions is working on is made «leveraging the cloud.»
Rumor: Hideo Kojima Horror Game Title, Actor Leaked
Kojima himself may not have been able to share more information regarding his project, but several leaks ahead of the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022 took greater liberties. One reliable leaker dubbed the name of the project Overdose, with later reporting on the project insisting that it's a horror game featuring actor Sarah Margaret Qualley. In a behind-closed-doors demo, Qualley's character walked through dark corridors with a flashlight with the demo ending on a jump scare.
It's all but certain that plentiful news, rumors, and more regarding Kojima's Xbox cloud project will be shared in the coming months. Whether the project really is the horror game Overdose or something entirely different, it's an exciting partnership that Xbox has garnered.
Hideo Kojima's Xbox game is currently in development.
