A reputable leaker has revealed the official name for Hideo Kojima’s next horror game project as well as one of the game’s actors.
Legendary game developer Hideo Kojima has released one game since his breakup with Konami, and that’s Death Stranding. Before Kojima made Death Stranding, he was busy working on a horror game project with Konami called Silent Hills and managed to release a playable demo for the game called PT Despite its very short duration and only Released in a short period of time, but that game has had a huge impact on the horror game field.
Now that Hideo Kojima has completed Death Stranding and the release of Death Stranding Director’s Cut, the gaming community is still wondering what his next project will be. Rumors are still circulating that Kojima is working on some kind of horror game, and the developer himself has released a lot of hints on social media. An official announcement has yet to be made, but the latest leak seems to have revealed the official name for Kojima’s horror game as well as one of the actors involved in the project.
According to leaker Tom Henderson, he has received footage of the game and said that Hideo Kojima’s horror game project will be called Overdose. According to Henderson’s description of the footage, it shows a character played by Margaret Qualley wearing a blue dress and walking in the dark with a flashlight. Henderson reports that the game will be able to offer gamers both first-person and third-person gameplay.
Choosing Margaret Qualley for the next horror game is interesting for those who are familiar with the works of Hideo Kojima. For gamers who don’t know, Qualley played Mama in Death Stranding. It doesn’t appear that Overdose is a sequel to Death Stranding, but this won’t be the first time Kojima has used the same actor in another project. Death Stranding star Norman Reedus was originally slated to play the title character in Silent Hills before the project was cancelled.
Kojima’s horror game has been rumored for quite some time, but that’s not the only rumor about the project. Some reports have stated that Kojima’s next game will be an Xbox exclusive, while others have said that it will be exclusive to PlayStation 5. Until an official announcement about the game and other games is made. Its foundation, gamers should only consider leaked information disclosed about the game as reference news, even if it comes from a reputable source like Tom Henderson.
As for the time when the gaming community has official news about the game, it may not be long. Summer Game Fest will take place on June 10, and Kojima has a pretty close relationship with host Geoff Keighley. Also, if the rumors about the game being an Xbox exclusive are true then it will probably appear at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase on June 12.
