As the latest new IP from the studio led by the prolific game director Hideo Kojima following his departure from Konami, OD is seemingly set to follow in the footsteps of Death Stranding as a release that pushes the boundaries of the medium and takes risks with its gameplay formula. While there is little known about OD apart from its cryptic announcement trailer and the fact it's a collaboration with Jordan Peele, the circumstances of its development and the inspirations behind it indicate that this game has the potential to subvert typical tropes of the survival horror genre.
