Hideo Kojima and Jordan Peele Team up for New Horror Title, ‘OD’
Featuring a first‑person gameplay that’s reminiscent of his previously canceled viral project, ‘P.T.’
Summary
- Kojima Productions announced a new horror game OD
- Created with Jordan Peele, the cast includes Sophia Lillis, Udo Kier and Hunter Schafer
- Developed with Xbox Game Studios, the game is built on Unreal Engine 5 using MetaHuman tools
Hideo Kojima has unveiled a three‑minute teaser for OD during Kojima Productions‘ 10th‑anniversary stream, offering a brief but cinematic look at the studio’s next horror‑leaning project. First revealed in 2023, OD has been framed by Kojima as both a game and a movie — a “new kind of media.”
The trailer follows Sophia Lillis‘ character as she enters a room, lights a line of strange candles and is met by an intensifying, ominous knocking; it closes on a terrifying close‑up as an unseen presence seizes her, then cuts to the title, followed by KNOCK, which references Kojima’s personal fear of loud knocking sounds. The first‑person perspective and atmospheric horror have invited comparisons to Kojima’s famously canceled playable teaser P.T., a recurrent touchstone in discussions of his experimental approach to interactive horror.
Developed in collaboration with Xbox Game Studios and filmmaker Jordan Peele, the game is built on Unreal Engine 5 using 3Lateral and Epic Games’ MetaHuman tools to achieve its photorealistic visuals. In addition to Sophia Lillis, OD’s key cast also includes Udo Kier and Hunter Schafer. No release window has been announced.
