Kojima’s next game, OD (Overdose), brings together an array of stars that will surprise everyone. Director Jordan Peele (Get Out, Nope) will be fully involved in the project.
Hideo Kojima and his teams are working on three games. The highly anticipated Death Stranding 2, a new Metal Gear-style PlayStation exclusive called Physint, and a radically different project for Xbox. An exclusivity which will be playable via cloud gaming and which should take full advantage of this nascent technology. It’s still very mysterious, but a priori, the Japanese designer has surrounded himself well.
Big stars on Kojima’s horror game OD (Overdose)
During the announcement of OD (Overdose) at the Game Awards 2023, Hideo Kojima confirmed that it would indeed be a horror game that should make an impression. “OD will explore the limits of fear and what it means to overdose on fear, while blurring the boundaries and the film”. For this title, the creator called on Jordan Peele, the director of Get Out, Us and Nope who, unlike George Miller for DS2, will be behind the scenes.
” He [Jordan Peele] will participate in OD in a creative way. But I’ll get in trouble if I say more.”. Motus and tight-lipped therefore, but there is still room for teasing. When he revealed OD, he said that Peele was a member of his “Avengers team” that he wanted to bring together. According to him, many people, especially in the profession, will not come back from this.
“Other people like him are working on OD. We call them the Avengers. When they are revealed, my name will be completely forgotten. Every time I show this list to agents or managers, they have a hard time believing it’s true. They say to me, “How did you manage to bring together all these people who don’t listen to anyone?” » (via HideoTube). Bets are off who are these Avengers? The mangaka Junji Ito? Nicolas Winding Refn? John Carpenter? Guillermo Del Toro? Given that Hideo Kojima has been around many famous and Hollywood people since 2015, it is impossible to establish a firm and definitive list.
