Kojima Premieres Three-Minute ‘OD — Knock’ Teaser as Xbox Backs Development

Microsoft is providing deep technical support on an Unreal Engine project Kojima pitches as a new hybrid format.

Overview

  • Kojima Productions debuted the in‑engine ‘OD — Knock’ teaser during its 10th anniversary livestream in Tokyo, showcasing photoreal first‑person horror built in Unreal Engine.
  • Xbox chief Phil Spencer said development is well underway and that Microsoft is doing both on‑screen and behind‑the‑scenes technical work, with Xbox Game Studios publishing.
  • The footage confirms Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer, and Udo Kier in the cast, and Kojima said Jordan Peele is working on another part of the overall OD experience.
  • The trailer’s sequence features Lillis’ character lighting ritual candles as knocks grow louder, worms spill out, a baby cries, and a figure grabs her, highlighting MetaHuman‑level facial detail.
  • Kojima described OD as a new system that blends game and film, but no release date or platforms were announced beyond a message aimed “for all players and screamers.”
