Kojima Productions and Xbox Game Studios Announce "OD" at The Game Awards 2023

KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS and XBOX GAME STUDIOS officially announced OD at The Game Awards. World-renowned game creator Hideo Kojima has partnered with Academy Award winning filmmaker Jordan Peele, the acclaimed film director of “Get Out,” “Us,” and “Nope,” who will be one of several talented storytellers involved in the project.

“We are 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,” said Hideo Kojima, Game Creator and Founder of KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS.

A HIDEO KOJIMA GAME, OD explores the concept of testing your fear threshold, and what it means to OD on fear – while blurring the boundaries of gaming and film. The new teaser for OD also reveals Sophia Lillis (“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves”), Hunter Schaffer (“Euphoria”) and Udo Kier (“Flesh for Frankenstein”), who will play the lead roles in the upcoming project.

So crazy.

Sonyslave3159d ago

Yup and it going to be like this going forward
Bethesda
Activison Blizzard King
Microsoft Games Studios

Plus all the 3rd parties deal 🤩

Outside_ofthe_Box159d ago

I mean yeah, they bought a huge chunk of the industry. Congrats on the hard work Phil.

GamerRN159d ago

Yeah, just like PlayStation did but more in line with their budget...

tay8701159d ago

Right now MS certainly has way more 1st party games revealed now, but playstation has WAY more 3rd party exclusive games.

EvertonFC159d ago

With 75% of Xbox owners playing the games on series S. 😂🤣

Lmao now that we bought all the third party creators we have games. Hahahaha you guys are so sad

andy85159d ago (Edited 159d ago )

What does Blade have to do with Xbox? That'll be released next gen when Xbox won't even be in the console market 😂 notice it didn't say Xbox exclusive like they make sure to stamp on all Xbox games too

Sitdown159d ago

@BlackTar187
No, what's sad is that despite having third party games, you all say Microsoft fans don't have any games to play....and now that they are exclusive that becomes a problem. If that is not your console of choice, why be so bothered?

Is someone here a designated driver for Kojima? He's drunk again

roadkillers158d ago

Yeah, first article I read this morning was "Kojima's Overdose Announced". Thinking that Kojima died overnight partying at the game awards...

maniacmayhem158d ago

Now that's funny!

...I mean, overdosing isn't funny, but thinking someone did and didn't is...

specialguest159d ago

Pretty impressive tech. I know this isn't the first of its kind to demonstrate this level of tech, but the uncanny valley effect is almost nonexistent

Kyizen158d ago

I mean Unreal tech demos looked like this 8 years ago. Now if they can do this with a fully realized world and the characters I'll be impressed.

Xbox and Playstation Keep Playing Russian Roulette, Except Kojima Is the Gun

The Nerd Stash: Kojima Productions as a whole is nothing without Hideo Kojima himself and the backing of either Xbox or PlayStation.

Workshyskiver102d ago

Lets be honest Kojima is a Playstation man through and through and his effort on the MS project will be minimal, experimental and lip service at best. Once DS2 is complete he will focus almost all of his efforts on this new Stealth IP for Playstation, thinking anything else is just denial.

The3faces102d ago

Must be nice to be the official spokesperson for Kojima. Lucky you

VenomUK102d ago

What I noticed was that Kojima’s spiritual Metal Gear new IP having game and movie integration/overlap/continuati on (in some way) sounds very much like the vision he revealed at the Game Awards regarding his partnership with Xbox.

Some chump was recommending he sell his business to PlayStation - why would he do that? He has his own company, it’s making big money, he’s partnered with the biggest names to create his dream projects. Hideo Kojima is winning.

Laxus102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

So you think he's gonna intentionally blemish his reputation with a bad game... Because console wars? That's crazy.

I think O.D is a Spiritual Silent Hill and Physint is a spiritual Metal Gear.

Crows90102d ago

If OD is cloud based...I'm sorry but that's a stretch. The Xbox thing is probably a little project he's had in mind.

Laxus102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

@Crows90

*Involves Jordan Peele and several other big name celebrities*

Random N4G PS fanboy : "just a small little project"

derek102d ago

Yep, Microsofts move to pay Kojima for his canceled Google project was a desperate play for relevancy. Just like them paying Sega for Persona, a genre game xbox fans largely aren't interested in just to say that they have quirky Japanese games on their platform to, same with
square and it's Mana game. Of course Kojima will focus on the project that will get the most attention from from the gaming public and make the most money.

Michiel1989102d ago

so how should they try and have japanese made games on their platform then? Also was sony just desperate then that they threw 3.6 billion at bungie just so they can say they have live service games or does it only work one way?

Xbox never had as many japanese games as Sony/Ninty but they always had a couple of (good) japanese games on their platform, nothing wrong with having a amazing game like Persona 5 on your platform, I don't see how you can even give such a bad take about having persona be available to more players, astonishing.

Lightning77102d ago

MS provides the tech and funds for the OD project and you think he'll just ignore that game? You really think MS would allow that? Every person that thinks straight knows that, that's not how it works. That N4G logic in on another world of nonsensical stupidity.

purple101102d ago

They didn’t actually say stealth
They said espionage.

This is better for me I don’t have the nerves for stealth but a James Bond esque game with a bit of puzzle solving/ detective work and minimal stealth, would be great!

We all know Kojima likes his freedom and we know what console developers get the most freedom🤷🏿 only an orchard full of moldy brains would think otherwise.

neutralgamer1992102d ago

VenomUK

i took that as him saying there will be no difference from gameplay to cutscenes. Equal amount game and movie. Something he wanted to achieve with MGS but with PS6 tech he will have that. I am sure sony will discuss PS6's specs with him so he can provide his feedback and know what he is working with

Workshyskiver

even he said his partnership with sony goes back 3 decades so yes i am sure he is a playstation guy through and through but i don't think he will short change xbox

phoenixwing102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

Neutral you're not wrong. There is absolutely no reason for Kojima not to do his best with od its got his name associated with it. It's not like Kojima to half a$$ anything.

Workshyskiver102d ago

What I meant is the scope and effort put in to the project. I'll be shocked if OD is as big in scope as DS, DS2 or his new game.

neutralgamer1992102d ago

i agree with you on that. OD is something he is expermenting with IMO

DaniMacYo102d ago

X Box is a dead market. All they got is money talks.

mastershredder102d ago

Hideo is more like a cracked Whiffle ball bat. Roulette? No, he’s more likely to stub a toe in the shallow end of the pool and cry. I love how he’s a superficial champion because people liked and fan for his games, shallow minded as f. You need to seriously crack the curtain open.

Kojima Productions is nothing without its misplaced and very skilled staff (what you think Hideo came up//made/designed all this himself? are you nutz?). Hideo is 100% NOT a business man (As evidenced with his behavior and dealings with Konami’s funds and his own studio (eh…yeah that bridge is sooo krispy and still smoking).

Elitism, drama and ego have no place in gaming and it’s a constant theme with KP. Don’t give a f what their new game is about, and Hideo did that himself. Go suck an 1000 year old egg Hideo. We’ll expect to see your studio did for you on sale few months after release and free within a year. I’d love to see his staff go-western (since he likes to) and grow a pair and leave him flat on his ass).

These days Hideo comes off worse than an annoying influencer desperate for clicks. More news about his studio BS or the ‘innovation and special magic’ they infusing into a game rather than giving news on the actual game, and then we get shi7 like death stranding….

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake

Zeref120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

Also new Activision and Blizzard games are gonna be exclusive.

I know Infinity Ward is working on an RPG.
And there's Project Oddysey from Blizzard.

Xbox is really becoming the house of western RPGs haha

Lightning77120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

Not all ABK stuff will be exclusive. Crash, Spyro etc will be multiplat full stop. Returning franchises will be multiplat. They will have some exclusives but I think ABK will be 50, 50 tbh, if even that now that I think about it.

Blizzards Odyssey will be multiplat IMO. Again this is alll imo I haven't heard anything yet we'll have to see.

Zeref120d ago

@Lightning77

Lol if they're willing to make Elder Scrolls and pretty much everything else outside of CoD and Minecraft exclusive, what actually makes you think Spyro and Crash won't be? 😂

BeHunted120d ago

@Lightning77

Crash and Spyro are Xbox’s property and emblem. Copium

Lightning77120d ago

Crash and Spyro are Multiplats. MS doesn't gain anything keeping those games only on Xbox. It'll be day one on GP of course they'll be on PS and Switch.

@Hunted what am I coping exactly? Big heavy hitting games like a Elder Scrolls will be exclusive because that will drive gamepass and even console sales. Spyro and Crash not so much on that front.

120d ago
Markusb33120d ago

these games will all be on pc, so they are not exclusive to xb

dcbronco120d ago

Zeref, Crash and Spyro appeals to children. Microsoft never seems willing to cut children off. It might be brand building or it might be they just won't deny them. But as for anything adult I don't think there are limits to what will be made exclusive. Like you said Elder Scholls was made exclusive. A lot of games will be as they buy more companies. Unless of course the government jumps in and ignores all of Sony's exclusivity deals, even ones that state companies can't work on Xbox, and stops Microsoft from controlling its own software. Which also wouldn't surprise me.

anast119d ago (Edited 119d ago )

A circus tent of Bethesda jank is more like it. When Bethesda makes something even remotely close to Marrowind, New Vegas, BG3, and so on, then I would call it a house.

DOMination-120d ago

In addition there are also 10-15 games in development by third parties but will be published by Xbox Game Studios. Of which, we know only a few so far:

OD by KojiPro
Contraband by Avalanche
007 game by IO (heavily rumoured)
People can Fly project (confirmed only as a AAA title)

Zeref120d ago

Isn't the IO game Project Dragon?

porkChop120d ago

IO Interactive is self publishing their 007 game. The Xbox project is called Project Fantasy, formerly Project Dragon.

Markusb33120d ago

there are no xb exclusives since they go day and date with pc, look up the word exclusive

PrinceOfAnger119d ago

Is Horizon forbidden west, Returnal and Ratchet a PS5 console exclusive or NoT ?

Zeref119d ago

The definition has changed. Get with the program.

The only console with true exclusives is the Switch.

porkChop120d ago

Fallout 5 isn't coming until after TES VI. Todd Howard already said this. It's not coming this generation.

did they really just show me footage from perfect dark n64/ xbx360

that's 2 GENERATIONS AGO, they still clinging onto hope I see

Obscure_Observer120d ago

Not sure what you meant by "hope".

Perfect Dark has been developed by an entire new studio and built from the ground up.

The game was announced later in 2020, and, with so many first party games in development at XGS, there´s absolutely zero reason to rush it.

itsmebryan120d ago

I guess we won't have to hear 'Xbox had no games!" Anymore.
Also @purple
What Gen is TLOU2 from? 🤔

InUrFoxHole120d ago

No but they'll simply move their goal posts and say something like... xbox has to buy games. Forgetting sony has purchased studios as well. Same game different name.

MrDead120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

Xbox will still have the same amount of games as always, they've just removed competitions access to multiplatform publishers. They've just convinced you that removing games from competitors means you're getting more when the truth is because of MS others are getting less.

purple101119d ago

Careful, TLOU wasn’t rehashed from a 5th gen n64 game

I doubt you were alive when perfect dark first released but I was

And it was game of the year,
In 1999. Time to move on

rippermcrip120d ago

Not a single "exclusive" on there.

Elda120d ago

If those games aren't released on the PS5 or Nintendo gaming console then they are XB gaming console exclusives.

piroh120d ago

Title say "Xbox series exclusives" so he is right there are no exclusives, only console exclusives

P_Bomb120d ago

I’m fine with the term ‘console exclusive’, as I don’t play on PC. It tells me what I need to know about what’s going where. What I have to look forward to in different ecosystems.

itsmebryan120d ago

Do you include every PS game on PC as not an exclusive? If so Sony doesn't have very many exclusives. One might say "PS has no games!".

Lazarus69120d ago

Yes if a Playstation game is available on another platform it's not an exclusive, PS fans have no problem saying that. They're not the ones calling games exclusive when thay are available on another platorm,PS has plenty of games which are true exclusives. Also if some says " PS has no games" then that person would be a moron.

InUrFoxHole120d ago

@Lazarus69
You can't make an incorrect statement like that and try to pass it as fact, if you want to be taken seriously.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH120d ago

So I guess the same can be said about Sony with a good number of their games on PC right?

rippermcrip120d ago

Same but with differences. Sony does not release all their games on PC and when they do they come multiple years later.

shinoff2183120d ago

A good number. What are they up to like 4 5 maybe

Elda120d ago

@Piroh Again....if those 17 games shown are not releasing on a PS or a Nintendo gaming console, then those 17 games are XB gaming console exclusives. PC is not a gaming console.

rippermcrip120d ago

That's the point. The article is calling them "exclusives" when they should call it "console exclusive".

piroh119d ago

@Elda so why the misleading title?

Lightning77120d ago

He did say "Console Exclusive" at the beginning of the video. It's clear you didn't watch it.

rippermcrip119d ago

It's not in any of the titles or summaries. Clickbait.

mrcatastropheAF119d ago

@rippermcrip semantics. We all know what the true intended meaning is no matter which words we use or how we dress it up linguistically.

Whether it says "console exclusive" or "exclusive" what this means is ponies and switch owners will not be playing these games

The3faces120d ago

Alot of bangers on that list. Can't wait!

Elda120d ago

As a XBSX owner the only games out of the 17 shown that I have interest in are the exclusives Stalker 2 & Clockwork Revolution. Most of everything else shown in the video I can't say because most of those AAA games have no gameplay. So far everything shown has no concrete official 2024 release date, maybe this Thursday's showcase XB will have some official release dates on upcoming releases.

Silly Mammo120d ago

Yep! Those are the only 2 I'm interested in as well. Just got me a semi-decent gaming laptop so I'm looking forward to playing those 2 Xbox-exclusives.

No both the headline and the article are totally false. There is no file for a "patent" just the trademark, which the article hosts hyperlinks to but seems to deliberately misquote.
