Hideo Kojima offered a short but encouraging update on his upcoming horror anthology game OD during this year's Tokyo Game Show. The project, which was first revealed late last year, remains one of the most mysterious titles in development, and fans have been eager for any news since its initial teaser.

Speaking during the event, Kojima confirmed that production on OD is moving forward without major setbacks. He described the work as progressing smoothly, a phrase that will likely reassure players who have grown accustomed to long waits between announcements for his projects. The game is being made in collaboration with Xbox Game Studios, and it is expected to push into experimental territory similar to Kojima's previous work.

Details about OD remain scarce. Kojima has not confirmed a release window, platforms beyond Xbox, or how the anthology structure will function. The teaser shown previously featured actress Sophia Lillis and suggested a strong focus on fear and unconventional storytelling. Whether OD will connect to other Kojima Productions titles is still unknown.

For now, the Tokyo Game Show update is modest but meaningful. It signals that the project is active and that Kojima is not rushing to reveal more until the team is ready. Fans will have to wait for a proper trailer or gameplay demonstration, but the director's comments suggest that day is slowly approaching.
