Tom Henderson, often knowledgeable colleague officiating for the publication Try Hard Guides, would have received from a source preferring to remain anonymous a first teaser video of Kojima Productions’ next project. Overdose – since it would be her nickname – would be a horrific title and the video in question would show actress Margaret Qualley – who already played Mama in death stranding – wandering with a flashlight in the dark corridors. According to Henderson, if the character is seen there in third person, the action could also borrow from a first person perspective. The video would end with a jump scarefollowed by a “Game Over” and the title of the game accompanied by the name of the studio founded by Hideo Kojima.
The posting of this indiscretion by Try Hard Guides was quickly followed by a withdrawal. Tom Henderson explained this on his Twitter account : “ The article is temporarily unavailable because I added a small update but it must be approved (the beauty of writing at 6 am). The update just says: “Update – Kojima Productions has since requested that this article be removed from publication, which we have declined” “. A request for withdrawal which could therefore further support the credibility of this information. As a reminder, Hideo Kojima’s assistant recently posted a photo of the latter chatting with Geoff Keighley, who would suggest that the Japanese creator could join the opening program of the Summer Game Fest, which will be broadcast tomorrow at 8 p.m.
Finally, the statements of Hideo Kojima himself shortly after the release of death stranding resonate with this news: he had indeed declared watching horror films for the preparation of a new game and expressed a few months later his desire to make a ” groundbreaking horror game “. Will it be the potential exclusivity for which Hideo Kojima had entered into discussions with Xbox? We should know very soon.
