What you need to know
Well, the day is finally here. We know that industry legend Hideo Kojima was working with Xbox Game Studios to create a brand-new game using Xbox’s cloud technologies, and now we’ve finally gotten our first look at it. The game is called OD, and the brief teaser trailer we received during The Game Awards looks mysterious, baffling, and more than a little terrifying.
Yes, OD is the next Hideo Kojima project. Yes, OD is coming to Xbox consoles. Yes, OD aims to blend the borders between video games and cinema. What I didn’t see coming, though, was the reveal that Jordan Peele, the mastermind behind horror movies like Nope, Get Out, and Us, is working with Kojima to bring OD to life. That’s a powerful duo bringing a unique gaming experience to Xbox (and presumably Windows PC).
Unfortunately, that’s where our information ends. There’s no release date information or even any teasers beyond the brief trailer. We can guess OD will be an Xbox console exclusive, and we can guess it’ll come toXbox Game Passon day one, but we can’t speculate too much beyond that. Well, it’s also pretty likely that OD is going to horrify the pants off a lot of gamers, given the mood of the teaser trailer.
