Hideo Kojima shared a reminder about OD – the enigmatic horror for Xbox is still in development

Even without an announced release window, filming with the cast will continue until the end of 2026. The schedule was affected by the SAG-AFTRA strikes and Kojima’s involvement in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.

Hideo Kojima has shared a reminder about the development of OD, an experimental horror game for Xbox that Kojima Productions continues to work on alongside Microsoft.

New promotional material has once again drawn attention to the project. For now, the developers have not given even an estimated release timeframe. According to available information, filming with the cast and the creation of other game elements will continue until the end of 2026. The schedule was affected by the SAG-AFTRA strikes and Kojima’s work on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.

OD will star Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer, and Udo Kier. Facial capture technology is being used to record their performances, which is expected to play an important role in creating the psychological horror.

The game was first discussed in 2022 when materials from a project titled Overdose were leaked online. The official presentation of OD took place at The Game Awards 2023. At that time, Kojima also announced a collaboration with Jordan Peele and shared that Microsoft turned out to be the only publisher willing to back such an unusual concept utilizing cloud technologies.
