When does OD (Overdose) launch? Hideo Kojima and Jordan Peele’s Xbox Game Studios horror project still has no date after the TGA 2023 teaser and mid-2026 filming restart.
OD has no release date. Kojima Productions + Xbox Game Studios; Peele co-writes; cast includes Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer, and posthumous Udo Kier work. Filming resumed around June 2026 after the SAG strike and Kier’s death. Not Death Stranding 2 and not a dated P.T. remake.

OD still has no ship day — the scare is real, the calendar is not
OD (codename Overdose) is Hideo Kojima’s Xbox Game Studios horror collaboration with Jordan Peele: a project pitched as testing how much fear a player can take before they overdose on it. The Game Awards 2023 teaser — Lillis screaming, Kier’s presence, avant-garde framing — is still the public face of a game without a Friday.
Production paused through the 2024–2025 SAG-AFTRA video-game strike; Kier’s death forced another reshuffle. By June 2026 Kojima was posting that filming/scanning work was moving again. That restart is progress, not a launch window.
Confirmed: Xbox-published Kojima horror with Peele — not DS2 DLC, not dated P.T.
Confirmed: Kojima Productions development, Xbox publishing, Peele as co-writer, UE5 pipeline, Lillis/Schafer casting, posthumous Kier complications, no release date. Not confirmed: PlayStation day-one, a Game Pass day, or that “Knock” trailer lore equals a 2027 storefront listing. Treat reset-survival rumors as separate from calendar facts.
How long OD has lived as a teaser without a counter
- During Death Stranding 1 — Kojima incubates the OD fear-threshold concept alone.
- Jun 2022 — Xbox partnership after other publishers pass on the pitch.
- Dec 2023 — TGA reveal trailer with Lillis, Schafer, and Kier.
- 2024–2025 — Strike freezes filming; Kier dies before full mocap/voice capture.
- Jun 2026 — On-set posts signal production restart; still no year lock.
Who should watch this blank page
Horror players chasing a Peele × Kojima crossover more than another stealth box. Xbox first-party trackers who care that Spencer-era weird bets still have air cover under later leadership. Anyone confusing every new KojiPro still with Death Stranding patch notes.
If you need a dated Kojima product today, that is a different SKU. OD’s job on whenis is to keep the overdose honest until Microsoft prints a window.
Multiple publishers called the pitch crazy — Xbox said yes anyway
Kojima has said he shopped OD widely and heard the same reply: the concept was too strange to greenlight. Phil Spencer’s Xbox team took it; later Xbox leadership has still described it as “another kind of game,” even while Microsoft culls other projects.
That origin story is why a blank date is not the same as a canceled page. OD exists because one publisher accepted a fear experiment others rejected — the countdown starts only when that same publisher risks a ship day.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When does OD (Overdose) launch?
No date. Kojima Productions and Xbox Game Studios have not published a year or window. Late-2027/2028 guesses after filming resumed in mid-2026 are speculation — wait for Xbox or KojiPro ink.
2Who is making OD, and on which platforms?
Directed by Hideo Kojima at Kojima Productions, co-written with filmmaker Jordan Peele, published by Xbox Game Studios. Confirmed targets are Xbox Series X|S and PC; other platforms are unannounced.
3Who is in the cast?
The reveal trailers spotlight Sophia Lillis and Hunter Schafer. Udo Kier was announced before his death in 2025; Kojima has said scanning happened but voice/mocap work was incomplete — his appearance is expected to be posthumous where usable.
4Is OD the same as Death Stranding 2 or a P.T. remake?
No. Death Stranding 2 is a separate Sony-era release already on the calendar. OD is an Xbox-published horror experiment about “ODing on fear,” not a Silent Hills revival — even if the vibe invites P.T. comparisons.
