Hideo Kojima speaks about OD again and shows a new image

Entertainment Weekly was the first to break some news from Xbox. In addition to the Sea of Thieves movie, the article highlighted OD from Kojima Productions.

In addition to revealing a never-before-seen image of the survival horror game, Hideo Kojima also explained his vision for this project, which is being developed in partnership with Microsoft.

"I wanted to do something new. I wanted to do something different. I had this OD concept since I was working on DS1 [Death Stranding] and I was working on it just by myself. I can't reveal much detail, but it's something that no one has ever seen before. A new game system.

I pitched to many people, to the big companies, and also to the up-and-coming companies. All of them said the same thing. They said that I'm crazy, and that they really don't understand the concept — that they will not be able to do it.

I wanted to go beyond the limit of the 'scariness' that other games had reached. It's a single-player game, and I wanted to make it as scary as possible. But for those that might stop playing when it gets too scary, I have thought of a system that will allow them to keep going. I can't say much more, because it'll give too much of a hint on the system, and I could get in trouble for saying too much!"
