Kojima Restarts Filming on Xbox Exclusive OD

Hideo Kojima posted images on social media showing that filming has resumed for OD, the Xbox exclusive he is co-writing with Jordan Peele. The released photos confirm on-set activity and identify Sophia Lillis and Hunter Schafer as the lead cast.

Kojima first announced OD in 2022 and released an initial teaser in 2023. A second teaser, subtitled “Knock,” appeared in 2025 and showed Lillis’s character recoiling after performing a ritual. Production paused after the 2025 teaser and has now restarted.

German actor Udo Kier had been attached to the project but died before he could record any motion-capture performances.

In a recent interview, Kojima said, “I can’t say exactly what it is yet, nor do I know if it will work out. We’ve created stealth games and delivery games which were unlike anything before, but system-wise, they were similar to other games. This time, we’re trying to change the service model from the ground up, so it should be quite challenging. We’ve packed the trailer full of hints, so if you keep thinking about it, you might figure it out.”

The social post and on-set photos do not include a release window or detailed gameplay information. The project remains described as an Xbox exclusive.

Until the developers release more footage or a schedule, the available teasers, casting announcements and Kojima’s public remarks are the primary public record of OD’s direction and production status.
