There are currently some very intriguing upcoming Hideo Kojima games in the works.
With a new espionage game that's shaping up to be a Metal Gear spiritual successor of sorts, to a very curious new horror experience that wants to explore what it means to "overdose on fear", both of the new games from Kojima Productions are now being published by Xbox. While the aforementioned espionage stealth game was initially set to be coming in collaboration with PlayStation Studios, it has since been dropped, with Kojima confirming the move to Xbox (a change which comes a big surprise to even to the likes of former PlayStation boss, Shuhei Yoshida).
Kojima Productions delivered some of the biggest PS5 exclusives of previous years, after all, with Death Stranding and its sequel, Death Stranding 2. Whether or not both projects being under Xbox means they won't be coming to PlayStation at some stage is something of a question mark, but it's still undoubtedly exciting to know that two big projects from Kojima - who has credits on everything from the Metal Gear series, to Snatcher and Policenauts - are on the way. To learn more, read on as we detail both of the upcoming Hideo Kojima games confirmed so far.
Every upcoming Hideo Kojima game currently in development
OD
Developer: Kojima Productions
Platform(s): Xbox Series X
Release date: TBC
While Death Stranding would eventually land on PC and Xbox Series X, Hideo Kojima has been primarily working in collaboration with publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment ever since his splinter with Konami in 2019. That's all set to change with OD, an upcoming horror game that's being made in partnership with Xbox Game Studios. We know that Hideo Kojima will serve as writer, director, and producer of this new creative endeavor as he explores "what it means to overdose on fear."
Get Out and Us director Jordan Peel has also contributed as a writer on the project, and more big names are said to be attached to the game that haven't been revealed just yet. OD remains something of a mystery, with a second teaser dropping that only piques our curiosity all the more. But we know that Kojima is leveraging Xbox's Cloud Gaming technology to "take on the challenge of creating a very unique, immersive, and totally new style of game" that he has tapped actors Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer, and Udo Kier to star in.
Physint
Developer: Kojima Productions
Platform(s): TBC
Release date: TBC
Hideo Kojima is also making his "return to the action-espionage genre" with Physint, which in 2025 he was said to be working on solo as Kojima Productions works on OD. Announced in January 2024, there's still very little known about this new action-espionage game – you know, the genre that Kojima helped pioneer through his Metal Gear series.
What we do know is that Kojima has said this is a brand new IP that will be the "culmination" of his work in the industry thus far, blending "cutting-edge technology and talent from around the world to create it." In fact, Kojima said it will "transcend the barrier between films and video games", and later teased you could be mistaken for watching a movie while playing it. It's intriguing stuff, but we'll likely be in for quite a wait for it to arrive, with the director stating it's still another five or six years away.
In terms of what platforms it will come to, that's something of question mark outside of it coming to Xbox. The latest development revealed that the collaboration with PlayStation, which was initially announced in 2024 by Hermen Hulst, the head of PlayStation Studios, has come to an end. Kojima put out a post on social media in September 2026 confirming that PlayStation has unexpectedly dropped the project, with Xbox now partnering with Kojima Productions to bring it to life alongside OD.
Death Stranding: Director's Cut is considered to be one of the best PS5 games to play right now.
