Had no idea this was supposed to be a horror game. That's my favourite genre so I'm curious now. Why unreal though if they already have a great engine…. But definitely looks like a level above RE9 if that teaser is any indication.

Cause Decima is Guerilla's engine and Sony wouldnt be ok with it being used on Xbox?

UE 5 is crazy realistic tho, as shown in the trailer. The game will probably have a small scope like PT, so optimization shouldnt be a problem.

Looks absolutely incredible. Kojima crew can maoe good visuals, damn.

Yeah that makes sense. Forgot this was an Xbox project. And yeah it looks like pretty insane.
 
It looks like there will be different episodes with different characters? . I wonder if the collaboration with different Hollywood directors has something to do with that aspect, and if each one would collaborate on a particular episode?
Aside from all that, it looks fantastic.
 
I have a feeling the transgender Hunter Schafer, will be the main villain, maybe that is his hands holding Sophia face. But to be honest, ill pass on this game. Im more interested with the MGS style Physint

It's possible:

"
The game has a new subtitle: Knock, because Kojima wants to create the fear of the 'knock' - "I am afraid of the 'knock' sound, so I wanted to make that very frightening," says Kojima. Kojima cryptically notes that Jordan Peele is working on another part of the OD experience, so that subtitle, Knock, may refer to a specific episode Kojima is working on himself - it's currently unclear.
"

Kojima and Xbox team up to show off a new OD teaser, "or maybe a signal", running on Unreal Engine 5

"It's bold, unique, and definitely from Kojima Productions," says Phil Spencer.

Looks great, you couldn't get me excited for an Xbox Studios game until I have it installed on my xbox as far as I am concerned it is "To be Cancelled" until I press play.
 
Oh, that looks amazing.

OD supposedly started off as a Google Stadia project, let's see how he plans to use Azure Cloud for some creativity.

Coming Soon/soonish to:

Xbox Game Pass | Xbox Series X|S | Xbox Magnus | Xbox On PC | Xbox Cloud

PS5/PS6 | Epic | Steam | Switch 2 | Handhelds*

*support for Xbox Ally, PS6 Portable, and various other PC gaming handhelds
 
It looks really good. I want to experience a horror game made by Kojima.

That being said, I will never understand Kojima's obsession with using famous actors for his game. It's weird and unnecessary in my opinion
 
Metahumans tech being impressive as usual.

Hopefully this is a proper game and not yet again an excuse to work with relatively famous actors.

Great trailer but few things to note: again no date or even solid window, so it's basically late 2026 or 2027.

Also no mention of platforms or 'Xbox Only' badge but For All Players And Screamers. I bet Kojima retooled the game from MS cloud only to episodic horror for PS5/Xbox/PC at one point.

And yeah, seems to me like a smaller episodic game in-betweeen DS2 and Physnt.

It's free marketing attached to a name, thay are good and their craft as a screen actors (especially important if you capture faces in high definition) and they are not even that expensive in the overall AAA budget, where the large bulk of spending is usually tech and assets. Both DS1 and DS2 was a joy to watch because we saw what truly capable screen actors are bringing to the table of motion capture and facial capture.

Also, it's not like OD is filled with high-profile names. Last truly big role by Udo Kier was is Red Alert 2 ffs.

The good thing about cloud technology is that it is mostly client device agnostic, so in theory there are not many barriers to them putting it elsewhere. I imagine the hook for MS is that it will be episodic and maybe timed exclusive to them, also on Gamepass day 1 which may help drive subs.

Was announced with Jordan Peele! He was announced as a co-writer, I believe.

It's probably a matter of having full multi-plat support from day 1.

More likely because it is an MS funded game, and Kojima Productions would have to pay extra to license Decima for it. This deal was made and announced before Microsoft decided to go semi-multiplatform, so that was likely not a consideration when choosing an engine.

Wait a sec, is this really in-game footage?

This is a room-scale game with heavy character focus, akin of Hellblade 2. I don't know why you act surprised (plus you can clearly see ingame moments on a bigger screen)

DS2 was a recent open-world game and I'd say quite a lot of cutscenes there were more or less on par with this trailer.
 
We still dont know what is this game is about or how exactly the gameplay is. Im not expecting a traditional gameplay experience here since he made this clear multiple times. After all these years we still getting these little teasers. When is this even coming out? 2027?
 
We'll see about the gameplay. I'm not gonna lie, a Hideo Kojima's full horror game can be interesting. My concern at the moment is...I hope Jordan Peele doesn't have much power in the writing.
