Hideo Kojima, the developer of Metal Gear and Death Stranding, appears to have leaked his upcoming game before Kojima Productions made an official announcement. The rumored game is apparently a horror game called Overdose, and that title comes at the end of a recently released, extremely odd film. The enigmatic game may or may not be the same project Kojima has been teasing for months.
With Margaret Qualley from Once Upon a Tim in Hollywood, Overdose appears to be a survival horror-style game. Kojima previously collaborated with Qualley on Death Stranding. In the brief video, Qualley’s character is shown wandering through the corridors of an abandoned building while eerie noises and fleeting glimpses of what might be a monster or a killer play in the background. The game ends with a game over screen that prominently displays the phrase “A Hideo Kojima game” when she runs after being startled by something after shining the torch down a few hallways.
It appears that Overdose may be a mobile game, or at least playable on mobile devices, based on the clip, which is twice off-screen filmed and features a picture-in-picture image of a woman playing the game.
Using Microsoft’s cloud gaming technology, Kojima Productions is developing a game for Xbox Game Studios, which would be a bit of a change for Kojima.
It’s unknown whether the allegedly leaked Overdose video is real or not, and if it is, whether it depicts the game’s final iteration. The Qualley model being utilized in this instance appears to be the same one that was used in a scene in Death Stranding, as some users have noted on Twitter. The unknown is whether Overdose is a standalone project or if it is connected to Death Stranding.
In other words, there is a lot we don’t know and not much is revealed by these disclosures. But with Kojima Productions’ hints intensifying and it appearing that some game elements are playable, hopefully, we’ll hear more official news soon. The Game Awards next month might provide further information about Hideo Kojima and his studio’s upcoming journey.
