Kojimavia Twitter/X, explained vaguely what can we expect from his next game, ODannounced at The Game Awards in December 2023. In doing so, he also talked about his older products.
His full message mentions all the peculiarity of his previous games and states that OD – which we remember will be a horror game – will be “different” and “against the current of the times”.
The Kojima's tweet reads, in translation: “It seems that I have been given credit for having created games that go against the grain of the times, such as “hide and seek” games in which you sneak into a building without being discovered by the enemy, or “delivery games ” where you have fun moving around an open world. For me the most experimental game was “defeat vampires outside the house” using real sunlight. It was met with fierce opposition from staff and even within of the company. In this sense, “OD” is equally different.”
What games is Kojima talking about
In his message Kojima indirectly mentions a series of games. First of all he mentions the “hide and seek” games: these are obviously Metal Gear and related sequels. Then, he talks about “delivery games” aka Death Stranding.
He then talks about a game in which you have to “defeat vampires outside the house”, that is Boktai The Sun is in Your Hands. It is one of the less famous games made by Kojima: it is a GBA title, an action RPG that used a special cartridge on which there was a sensor that allows the protagonist's solar powers to be recharged by standing in the sun.
OD should therefore be just as unique as previous games, at least by modern standards.
