Hideo Kojima Says to Watch the ‘OD’ Teaser Trailer “100 Times” for a Hint About the Game
After the reveal of the teaser trailer for OD earlier this year, there are still plenty of questions regarding the game. And in typical Hideo Kojima fashion, the man himself has dropped another one of his cryptic hints. In this case, it involves watching the teaser. A lot.
In an interview with Nikkei Xtrend (and translated by GamesRadar+), Kojima refers to OD as no other kind of media, despite obviously being built within a game engine. According to Kojima, OD looks like horror upon first impressions, but the system it uses isn’t some regular system. “Everything is made in a game engine, and a game is a game, but it’s still a system like no other. That’s why we built a completely new medium together with Microsoft.”
Kojima states that he’s purposely keeping things vague in order to not have Xbox head Phil Spencer come down on him for revealing too much. However, Kojima also says that those interested in uncovering more about OD should go back and watch the teaser trailer. “I can’t say anything else or Mr Phil will be mad at me,” he says. “But actually, if you watch the teaser trailer many times there’s a hint. I really can’t say what it is, but if you watch it 100 times… At the end of the trailer it reads ‘for all players and screamers’. That’s also a big hint.”
What exactly this all means is anyone’s guess, though as he suggested, someone will invariably do the arduous task of combing through the teaser to uncover something.
Currently in development for the Xbox Series, OD will feature Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer, and the late Udo Kier.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
