Hideo Kojima first announced he was teaming up with Xbox for a new game in 2022, before a teaser revealed<\/a> the OD <\/em>name and some cast last year. We\u2019re now getting a better look at exactly what OD <\/em>is, in a new three-minute teaser trailer that holds true to Kojima\u2019s promise that the game will be unique and immersive.<\/p>\n

The trailer begins with Sophia Lillis\u2019 character opening a red door, and then lighting candles \u2014 some of which look like Death Stranding<\/em> babies. With rain pouring down outside and mysterious knocking sounds, it\u2019s clear OD<\/em> will very much lean into horror for its gameplay as Lillis\u2019 character shakes in fear.<\/p>\n

The trailer also shows off some of the early Unreal Engine work that Kojima Productions is undertaking for OD<\/em>, alongside Microsoft\u2019s assistance. Xbox chief Phil Spencer confirmed on stage at Kojima Productions\u2019 10th Anniversary livestream<\/a> that development of the game is \u201cwell underway,\u201d and that Microsoft is helping with the visuals and technical work.<\/p>\n

\u201cOD <\/em>is bold, it\u2019s unique, and it\u2019s unmistakably from this studio,\u201c says Spencer. \u201dWe\u2019re deeply supporting the production, it\u2019s our technical work on Unreal that we\u2019re doing with the team, both with the flashy [elements] you see on the screen, but also a lot of the behind the scenes work.\u201d<\/p>\n

OD<\/em>\u00a0is billed as something of a cross between a game and a movie, with a promise of exploring concepts that test \u201cyour fear threshold.\u201d Unreal Engine will drive the experience of OD<\/em>, instead of the Sony-owned Decima engine that powers both Death Stranding<\/em> titles. Kojima had high praise for Unreal Engine at the 10th anniversary event, saying \u201cthe technology is one step higher than Death Stranding 2<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

While we know Jordan Peele is somehow involved in OD<\/em>, Kojima did note today that the filmmaker is working on another part of the overall OD<\/em> experience. That might be why the game is subtitled OD Knock<\/em>, to differentiate it from whatever Peele is working on.<\/p>\n

We still don\u2019t know exactly when OD <\/em>will arrive, despite promises that development is well underway. \u201cKojima is innovating in gameplay, story, and player engagement,\u201d says Spencer. \u201cWe\u2019re collaborating closely, and we\u2019re very excited for what\u2019s next.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
