OD is an upcoming horror game developed by Kojima Productions and published by Xbox Game Studios. The game stars Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer and Udo Kier.[1] Hideo Kojima and Jordan Peele served as writers for the game.[2]
Synopsis[edit]
While OD's story has not yet been revealed, according to Kojima, the game will "explore the concept of testing your fear threshold, and what it means to OD on fear."[3] Kojima stated he is "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."[4]
Around November 2022, 2 and a half minutes of gameplay were leaked on a live stream recording of a phone and on Twitter, showing a nurse in a dark presumed hospital walking around with a flashlight, breathing heavily. At the end, she sits down, then looks at the camera and screams before the screen cuts to black and cryptic symbols form to say "GAMEOVER" and then "OVERDOSE".[5]
Development[edit]
The partnership between Kojima Productions and Xbox Game Studios to create a game for Xbox leveraging the power of the cloud was revealed at Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022.[6] Kojima revealed the teaser trailer for OD at The Game Awards 2023.[7]
