Hideo Kojima Unveils New Details on OD: Knock and Physint

Legendary game creator Hideo Kojima took the stage for his Beyond the Strand presentation, where he shared fresh details on not one, but two of his highly anticipated projects: the spiritual successor to Metal Gear Solid, currently titled Physint, and his mysterious horror project OD, which now carries the subtitle Knock.

OD: Knock – A Chilling New Look

The presentation opened with a haunting new trailer for OD: Knock. The footage shows the game’s protagonist striking a match and lighting candles in what appears to be a cursed, abandoned house. The scene is drenched in cinematic tension, and a foreboding message at the start warns that a “horror” has awakened after many years.

The game features a star-studded cast including Sophia Lillis (It, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves) and Hunter Schafer (Euphoria). Xbox head Phil Spencer teased that the game will be a “revolutionary” experience, while Kojima assured fans that it will go far beyond the simple act of lighting candles.

Physint – Kojima’s Spy Thriller

While OD: Knock was the centerpiece of the show, Kojima also offered a brief update on Physint, his long-rumored espionage game. He revealed that Physint is still just a working title and will change before launch. Fans were treated to the first official poster for the project, as well as the announcement of several cast members, including Charlie Fraser, Ma Dong-seok (Train to Busan), and Minami Hamabe.

Kojima cautioned that the game is still years away. Though Physint was first announced in early 2024, its development is expected to take at least another five to six years before release.

A Glimpse Into Kojima’s Ambitious Future

This presentation served as a reminder of Kojima Productions’ ambitious plans for the future — blending cinematic storytelling, star power, and genre innovation. While details remain limited, both projects are shaping up to be major milestones in Kojima’s career, and fans will be eagerly awaiting the next reveal.
