Update: According to the original reporter Tom Henderson, developer Kojima Productions requested the removal of his article on Overdose, suggesting that it’s real – and an announcement is potentially imminent. The big question now is whether this will ship on PlayStation platforms or not.

Original Story: Hideo Kojima is leading the development of a new horror game titled Overdose, according to Tom Henderson of Try Hard Guides. The leaker claims he's actually been sent footage of the game, which stars Margaret Qualley, who played Mama in Death Stranding. However, it's reported this new horror title isn't linked to Kojima's latest IP in any way.
According to Henderson, the footage handed to him puts Qualley in a blue dress and has her walking through dark corridors equipped with a flashlight. It's all told from the third-person perspective, but apparently first-person is an option too. "A jump scare at the end of the footage shows 'GAMEOVER' followed by 'A Hideo Kojima Game'... 'OVERDOSE'."
Of course, with Summer Game Fest Live just around the corner, the hope is the title will be revealed there. Except there have been rumours of Hideo Kojima developing a title exclusively for Xbox consoles in order to utilise the company's cloud technology. This could well be that game, meaning it won't release for PS5, PS4 consoles. Furthermore, it's already all but confirmed Kojima is also making Death Stranding 2 after Norman Reedus let word slip in a recent interview. Tom Henderson has a somewhat reliable track record, so it'll be interesting to see whether this latest claim comes to fruition or not.

Yikes, if this is Xbox exclusive I may as well just jump off a bridge...
Might have to invest in a series s if this a Xbox exclusive
Sometimes I wish games could just be announced without being leaked beforehand (if it turns out to be true)
I would buy a series S for this. An this description sounds exactly like a kojima game.
Gamepass baby?
Don't get the fuss over kojima games, metal gear solid lost its way towards the end and death stranding was a bore fest
I fail to see how a horror game would require the cloud thing but then again with Kojima you can never be sure what he’s up to.
If Xbox have bought this as an exclusive (or timed exclusive), @Deljo, then I think it highly likely it will go Day One on to the Games Pass. Personally, I hope this is the case as actually buying horror games is so hit and miss. Having it available on the Games Pass definitely works for me...
Hope its not XBOX exclusive then.
Remember Scalebound?
This will be what makes me buy an Xbox. Major coup for Microsoft if this guy finally delivers on the promise of PT and it’s theirs.
Say thanks to Jimbo if this is MS only. He only makes publishing Deals for GaaS now if you havent already noticed.
We know Kojima was making a horror game. The wannabe movie director always posts things about horror movies.
I'd be very excited to play this, I have a PC so no issue if it's an Xbox exclusive but I'd rather 3rd party games were always multiplatform. Death Stranding was great and funnily enough I'm at her chapter on my PS5 playthrough
Looking forward to seeing more. As others have eluded, the Xbox title was supposed to be cloud-based and would work close with Kim Swift to make. However, could be.
Guess we will find out soon enough.
This could be the first Horror/Strand type game!
Made by Hideo Kojima
I bet all the people from the Xbox camp who have been saying "Kojima is overrated" for years suddenly fall silent with the hope this might be exclusive.
I doubt it will though, Kojima is and always has been very close with Sony. He said before how he will continue working with them because they allow him to fulfill his visions without interference and saw no reason to end their relationship. Likely a multiplat. Or timed at best.
Hideo Kojima... Developing... game. All I need to know - how do I pay? 😅
"Microsoft" usually also means PC, so it is fine. Death Stranding works on GeForceNOW. maybe an option also.
Overdose of goodness I hope...Great gameplay etc etc..
@IonMagi
Getting tired of all your lies you come with lately.
If you hate Sony so much maybe stop being on this site will do all people some good.
@Neverwild Is it not true tho? During almost the same time in the PS4 Gen we already had many 3rd Publisher Deals for SP Games:
The Order 1886 and more.
Now?
Eeeh...multiple GaaS Games by newly founded Companies. And thats it. MS in comparsion has SP IPs in development by IO, KojimaProduc, Certain Affinity and more.
@GADG3Tx87 I mean he had a Publisher Deal going on with Stadia before they shut down all Game funding. Doesnt sound like they are that close anymore. Probably because Layden left Sony
@IonMagi I usually don't spend timer arguing in the internet since it's a waste of time but what the hell are you talking about?
Certain Affinity is made by ex-Bungie devs and they're basically a support studio for Halo, which 3rd party exclusive are they working on for Microsoft?
IO interactive are working on a 007 game that has no platforms confirmed.
KojiPro "may" be working both on this game and Death Strading, we know nothing about this one, and Sony owns the DS IP.
So which 3rd party games are you speaking of? They barely have games from their own studios (which are in the pipeline and I do hope they're good/great, I want something to play on my xbox apart from 3rd party ok stuff on gamepass).
@Athrum IO is working on an RPG with Dragons for MS (google Project "Dragon).
Certain Affinity are developing a Monster Hunter-like Game for them and Avalanche Studios are making an Action-Adventure Game codename "Contraband" for MS.
And what does/did Sony have except the GaaS stuff from those new Studios when it comes to 3rd Party Publishing Deals? Returnal. And thats it. In comparsion to the stuff we had 2 years into the PS4 lifespan its looking really dire for Single Player Games on PS5
Looks like he's developing my girlfriend tbh. There was that Korean one too
Where it lands I will be right there to buy it. Hopefully some teaser will drop soon in the coming months.
Hey Push Square, how about not putting the entire leak, including the title, in the headline?!
Some of us still like to be surprised by official announcements.
@IonMagi Monster Hunter World 2 is probably a PS5/PC exclusive, that’s why Certain Affinity is making that game.
@Suda51ueda Capcom issnt making Console exclusives anymore if it issnt for Nintendo. Everyone thought Street Fighter 6 would be PS5/PC only too and here we are
Really wish you hadn’t reported on this one. Tom Henderson is a scumbag with zero respect for the devs who actually make the games he reports on. They were supposed to announce this literally next week. We can wait that long.
A Kojima horror game would be just too much horror, I mean his Metal Gear machines are terrifying enough.
I doubt very much this will be an Xbox exclusive.
But even if it is I am so damn hyped, an horror game by Kojima is all we want from him since the legendary PT demo, which is talked more than most fully developed horror and non horror games.
Can't wait for this!
I don't care if this is Xbox exclusive or not. I just don't want it to be a damn cloud game like the long-standing rumor has suggested.
I wish there would be some sort of spoiler tag in headlines and thumbnails here. This is the only gaming site I go on and I like surprises.
Welp if its randomly xbox, just gonna skip
If it's as nonsensical as his other games I'll pass lol
@UltimateOtaku91 me neither not a fan of his games I thought he made silent hill but after doing some research he wasn't involved in it 🤷♂️
Yeah, I think I'm already out on this one. I've never really considered Kojima to be all he's oft rumoured to be, and reading the article I think only really reinforces that belief.
Completely unrelated, but does anyone know why voice search has disappeared from the YouTube app on ps5
I will be sad if this is an Xbox exclusive...I only have a One X and it's dying on me.
@UltimateOtaku91 I enjoyed what I played of Death Stranding, but I agree that Kojima is definitely over-rated. There are a lot of much better devs out there who don't have half as much of a fuss made over them.
Cool! If it an Xbox exclusive whatever... Kojima a grown man and its his studio. He can do whatever he pleases as long as it pays the bills, and his employees.
@IonMagi
At start in the ps4 era, sony bought no single player studios.
Now. They bought housemarque, bluepoint which were second party...
nevermind. Go on with your agenda.
This would have been a great surprise, thanks for ruining yet another reveal leakers!
@IonMagi Then Certain Affinity is wasting their time.
Someone is gonna get MEGA fired for this leak. As they should for breaking their CIA...
I’m already too hyped for Death Stranding 2. If Overdose releases on PS5, I’ll probably overdose on hype. Margaret Qualley is a great actress and she’s smart to latch onto Mr. Kojima (I don’t mean that in a negative way). I just don’t want to buy an XBox so please be on PS haha
Leaked title screen has The Order insignia in the O… I’m not gonna say it, but…
Don't care too much about Death Stranding but im hyped for a P.T spiritual successor...Hope its multiplatform
I though kojima was more leaning toward the playstation. Is this suppossed to be on xbox?
It'll be really interesting to see what Kojima does with a horror game.
And she had to deliver packages.
@dimi how can something be a spirtual successor to a playable demo with no story?
KP is third party so they are free to work with Xbox, curious what the game will be.
@jFug that's the appropriate reaction.
@IonMagi No, he doesn't.
I’d bet it’s revealed at Geoff event with GOWR trailer too
Don’t care about console warriors bragging rights 😅
If it's digital/cloud only, then it's a hard (game)pass for me
Well, that tweet link leads to nowhere. So Tom obviously deleted at least something.
I’ve never read anything or even heard of Tom Henderson but reading his tweet made me not care for him. How disrespectful.
