According to the director, the lack of new teasers is intentional, as he wants to release the game while keeping everything about it a mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"OD - KNOCK Teaser Trailer - [ESRB] 4K\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eHCqxLtwy5g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from some cast and writer announcements, screenshots, and two teaser trailers, not much is known about OD. Kojima comments that while his past games feature several teasers, he would rather not do the same thing for this title in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s not that it isn\u2019t finished,\u201d he said, and described OD as \u201ca game that pushes players to the brink of fear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kojima also gave an update on OD\u2019s development, saying that filming, which was postponed on account of the American actor union SAG-AFTRA strike, had finally restarted this July. In addition to Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR), which involves rerecording voice lines to replace those recorded on set, the entire process is expected to take place until next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OD is currently in development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Related: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/hideo-kojima-says-he-pitched-od-to-many-companies-but-everyone-but-xbox-told-him-he-was-crazy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hideo Kojima says he pitched OD to many companies, but everyone but Xbox told him he was crazy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/hideo-kojima-says-od-is-something-completely-different-from-a-standard-horror-game-we-still-dont-know-if-it-will-work-out\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Hideo Kojima says OD is something completely different from a standard horror game. \u201cWe still don\u2019t know if it will work out\u201d<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the recent episode of the KOJI10 radio program, Hideo Kojima talked about the development of his upcoming horror game OD. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":73443,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","autoblue_enabled":true,"autoblue_custom_message":"","autoblue_shares":[{"did":"did:plc:uzrrhkfyjrfdsynj2voztcf2","date":"2026-10-06T08:33:59+00:00","uri":"at:\/\/did:plc:uzrrhkfyjrfdsynj2voztcf2\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mx6zi42xa627","response":"{\"uri\":\"at:\/\/did:plc:uzrrhkfyjrfdsynj2voztcf2\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mx6zi42xa627\",\"cid\":\"bafyreih6u3bu3pqy7vuk5xdgjncjok3dw3wewd57yqkx6ssnnc2unjrs4m\",\"commit\":{\"cid\":\"bafyreifk6agje26rdguwomj3eljjxekwa3sbmzef773t6a3mmrizzf2phm\",\"rev\":\"3mx6zi4344g27\"},\"validationStatus\":\"valid\"}"}],"autoblue_post_url":"","autoblue_publish_document":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-73439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":8}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hideo Kojima says it&#039;s not that OD isn&#039;t progressing, he&#039;s just being mysterious about it on purpose.
