Hideo Kojima is reportedly working on a new horror game called Overdose.
Reliable industry insider Tom Henderson claims to have received early footage of the game featuring Margaret Qualley, who starred in Kojima Productions’ debut game, Death Stranding.
Writing for Try Hard Guides, Henderson reports that the game doesn’t appear to be Death Stranding 2, which actor Norman Reedus recently claimed is in early development.
The footage reportedly shows Qualley’s character using a flashlight to navigate dark corridors from a third-person perspective, but it’s claimed the game may be playable in first-person too.
The video is said to close with a jump scare before displaying “GAMEOVER”, followed by “A Hideo Kojima Game” and finally “OVERDOSE”.
An image partially revealing a logo for Overdose also appears to have leaked.

A tweet from his personal assistant revealed that Kojima and Summer Game Fest creator Geoff Keighley participated in a video call on May 31, fuelling speculation that the famed Metal Gear designer could be set to reveal his next game during this month’s big industry showcase.
