“The hungry purple dinosaur ate the kind zingy Fox the jabbering crab and the Mad whale and started vending and quacking…“
There were some pretty rad announcements at the 2023 Game Awards and ONE of those was the launch of a teaser trailer from Xbox Game Studios and the visionary, legendary game developer, Hideo Kojima, rendered by Epic’s Unreal Engine 5 and MetaHuman technologies. Before we go any further, just know, there is no release date yet and the trailer really doesn’t give away very much. What it DOES give away is a palpable, creepy, disturbing tone that leaves you wanting to know more…. or maybe… NOT wanting to know more.
World-renowned game creator Hideo Kojima has partnered with Academy Award winning filmmaker Jordan Peele, the acclaimed film director of “Get Out,” “Us,” and “Nope,” who will be one of several talented storytellers involved in the project.
“We are working with Xbox Game Studios and their cloud gaming technology to take on the challenge of creating a very unique, immersive, and totally new style of game – or rather, a new form of media,” said Hideo Kojima, Game Creator and Founder of KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS.
A HIDEO KOJIMA GAME, OD explores the concept of testing your fear threshold, and what it means to OD on fear – while blurring the boundaries of gaming and film. The new teaser for OD also reveals:
Sophia Lillis (“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves”)
Hunter Schaffer (“Euphoria,” “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes”)
Udo Kier (“Flesh for Frankenstein”), who will play the lead roles in the upcoming project.
Previously, Hideo stated:
“I’m easily frightened myself, so I have confidence that I could create something more terrifying than 
perhaps others could. I get frightened of things like darkness and imagine shadows of ghosts in the dark.
“P.T. ended as just an experiment, but I would like to make another horror game someday. Something that uses a revolutionary method to create terror, that doesn’t just make you pee your pants, but crap them. I already have ideas in mind.”
After the trailer dropped at the Game Awards, Jordan Peele joined Hideo Kojima on the stage and said, “What he’s cooking up here is completely immersive, utterly terrifying, and I am absolutely honored to be collaborating with the GOAT.”
Now ask yourself… what was behind the door that terrified Sophia and made her scream in the trailer…. Who are the “other collaborators” the Hideo mentions that he is working with on this project? Stay tuned and we will let you know as SOON as we hear anything.
