Kojima Productions Celebrates Anniversary with OD: Knock Trailer and Production Insights
Kojima Productions marked its tenth anniversary with a special broadcast filled with exciting announcements, including a deeper look at their upcoming horror title, now officially dubbed OD: Knock.
The three-minute trailer for OD: Knock offers a chilling glimpse into the game's atmosphere. It features actress Sophia Lillis, known for her roles in films like Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, as she receives a mysterious message. The scene escalates as she enters a room, lights candles, and is unnerved by persistent knocking and a child's cry in the background. The tension culminates when a terrifying entity appears behind her, grabbing her head in a moment of pure horror.
Beyond Lillis, the trailer confirms additional lead roles for Hunter Schafer of Euphoria fame and veteran actor Udo Kier, known for his work in films such as Blood for Dracula. The game is being developed using Unreal Engine 5, promising a visually stunning and deeply immersive experience. Hideo Kojima himself emphasized that OD: Knock aims to be a "completely new experience" in interactive entertainment, something he believes has never been done before.
Microsoft's Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, also made an appearance during the event, praising OD as a bold and unique project that unmistakably bears the signature style of Kojima Productions. He confirmed that development is progressing well, with Microsoft specialists providing crucial support on visual and technical fronts, leveraging their expertise to enhance the game's ambitious vision.
OD was first announced in 2023, with Kojima describing it as a "new form of media" that seeks to blur the lines between films and games. The horror title is a collaboration with acclaimed horror film director Jordan Peele, known for his work on movies like Nope and Get Out. As of now, details regarding OD: Knock's release date and target platforms remain under wraps. This anniversary showcase provides a compelling look into a project that continues to intrigue and challenge conventional genre boundaries, setting high expectations for players globally.
