Phil Spencer and Kojima cleansed his new game OD of evil spirits. The creator took the Xbox boss to a traditional ritual
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Work on Hideo Kojima's new project is slowly progressing. Before starting the development of OD, thorough preparations were made
Hideo Kojima is working on several projects at once. The famous creator is busy not only with Death Stranding 2 On The Beach, which recently made waves at the PlayStation State of Play presentation, but also, for example, the mysterious OD.
A recent episode of HideoTube brought up OD. Hideo Kojima explained that before creating a horror project, people visit a shrine for the traditional Oharai ritual: it is a kind of purification ritual to ward off evil spirits (purification from “all things bad”).
A photo was shown featuring not only Hideo Kojima himself at the ceremony, but also a guest invited from the West — Xbox boss Phil Spencer sitting close to him. According to Kojima, they attended the ritual along with the Microsoft team.
He also spoke (likely in jest) about a certain sound heard in the studio. When they set up a recording overnight, this sound supposedly occurred roughly every hour, which is why Kojima thinks they ought to visit a more powerful sacred place and repeat the Oharai ritual.
