Hideo Kojima’s Polarizing New Project Od: A Unique Blend of Game, Film, and New Media
Hideo Kojima has discussed his new project, Od, stating it will be polarizing. In a conversation with Ssense, Kojima described Od as “totally different,” predicting that players will either “adore or despise” it, much like Marmite. He previously characterized Od as a blend of game, film, and new media. Upon its release, Kojima intends to observe reactions on platforms like YouTube and X, though he believes the definitive judgment will not occur for another 10 to 20 years. This approach aligns with his past philosophy regarding Death Stranding. Following positive tests for Death Stranding 2 earlier this year, Kojima stated he was not focused on pleasing the masses. The original Death Stranding initially encountered criticism but ultimately garnered widespread acclaim from both critics and fans. In related news, Hideo Kojima recently released Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, which has received positive reviews. However, he has confirmed he will not be involved in Konami’s upcoming reboot of Metal Gear Solid 3.
