Recently, Hideo Kojima tweeted to send New Year blessings and shared a poster of the studio's Year of the Dragon mascot "Ryu(dragon)Dense(LUDENS)". He also revealed that "Death Stranding 2" and the new IP "OD" will be developed simultaneously this year.
The development of "Death Stranding 2" has come to an end, and the dubbing recording still needs to be completed. Japanese dubbing will begin soon. Hideo Kojima wants to focus on creating games, so he will reduce the number of business trips this year, but it cannot be zero, because he has to film and produce the movie version of "OD" and "Death Stranding" and other projects.
Kojima has a lot on his plate in 2024, and he also plans to add another writing series, launch an experimental special on HideTube, and more.
It is worth mentioning that the cast of "OD" has been announced, including Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer and Udo Kier. This work explores the concept of "testing the fear threshold" and was co-created by Oscar-winning film director Jordan Peele.
