Hideo Kojima says it’s going to be a “tough year” with Death Stranding 2, OD, and more on the go

2015’s Until Dawn was an early stand-out PlayStation 4 exclusive. Developed by Supermassive Games, it effectively asked players to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to a horror movie. Everyone has yelled at characters not to run upstairs when pursued or split up to search for somebody, but Until Dawn let you make those calls.

2K's once popular Top Spin tennis franchise has been given new life with the surprise announcement of a new game in the series. It's been a whopping 13 years since the last Top Spin title, a 2K sports game series that was once beloved by fans of tennis and of sports video games in general.

At the end of 2023, we saw best movies of the year lists from almost anyone with a Letterboxd account, but one movie lover is a little late to the game in posting their favorites. Video game creator Hideo Kojima, and his picks are a little interesting, to say the least. 

There are quite a few iconic game developers that have gained a massive following worldwide. One of those iconic developers is Hideo Kojima, who has had his hand in several titles and franchises. Since their departure from Konami, it seems Kojima can really flex his creative muscles. What came to fruition after his leave from Konami was Death Stranding, which had its own unique gameplay experience. But expect things to be even more out there when Hideo Kojima releases his next new IP, OD, into the marketplace. 

Black Desert Console has a new update,adding the Elvia Calpheon, with new zones, new guild missions, events, and more. There are even campaigns for new and returning players.

Hideo Kojima has taken to social media with comments about his "most experimental game," and in the process has revealed that a whole lot of his fans don't actually know his back catalog very well.

Game designer Hideo Kojima has been discussing his legacy of creating “experimental” games, and has teased that the upcoming horror project, OD, will be “just as different.”

When it first leaked as Overdose, it was believed that Kojima Productions’ new IP would be a horror title, albeit one with director Hideo Kojima’s signature twists (and potentially related to Death Stranding). However, upon its reveal as OD, it’s looking to be a lot more complicated than initially believed. The developer trademarked terms like Social Scream System and Social Stealth, and it’s confirmed to utilize Xbox’s cloud-native technology.

The Witcher voice actor Doug Cockle has voiced Geralt of Rivia for nearly two decades, and will soon expand beyond video games to voice the White Wolf in upcoming Netflix film Sirens of the Deep.

The latest Q&A video —  the last of 2023 — for New World dropped on Christmas. Despite the festive outfits of two-thirds of the developers on camera, the Amazon Games team addressed some pretty hard-hitting questions that have circulated since its 2024 roadmap was revealed.

I love how Microsoft Flight Simulator exists in the background now, like the distant roar of an overhead flight path. Not only is it just nice to have a shiny, new version of one of the gaming OGs there to pick up and play at any time, every now and then it drops an absolutely gorgeous new trailer showing off some wild technical wizardry or hyper-detailed new cityscape. That's exactly what's happened now, with Flight Sim's latest update inviting you to pay a flying visit to an eclectic collection of European cities.
