Whoever had a bet on reading that headline, you've just scored big. Following reports earlier this week that footage of one of Hideo Kojima's next games Overdose was doing the rounds in private Discord servers, the gameplay has now made its way online. You can view the footage through here, but probably even more bizarre are the circumstances surrounding the video.
The footage has been recorded by a topless man on his mobile phone, which is pointed at a laptop, which is running a seemingly private YouTube video. You catch glimpses of the man throughout the video, but once the footage comes to an end, all you have to look at is his left pec for a few seconds. Whoever said video game leaks were boring?
Gameplay has the character in a blue dress sneaking down corridors, equipped with a flashlight. Another figure flashes before her and then disappears, so she runs away. Hiding in what appears to be a classroom, the protagonist then screams and the footage cuts to a game over screen.
As for the game itself, Overdose is said to be a different project from the rumoured Death Stranding 2. It seems to be being played on a mobile phone, and features Margaret Qualley from Death Stranding. Elle Fanning and Shiori Kutuna are confirmed to star in an upcoming game from Hideo Kojima, but it's more likely to be the Death Stranding sequel rather than Overdose. Kojima has said his next project is "almost like a new medium" as it transcends video games.

You've got a WhatsApp mate.
This looks pretty much beat for beat what got leaked to Tom Henderson back in June.....except the naked man.
This headline is pure gold and a perfect laugh to start the weekend š
Naked Man is Norman Reedus every time he was on the beach.
It all comes together, according to Kojima's plan.
The blatant disrespect to devs does my head in. Kojimaās been steadily building hype and now thereās been a leak.
Ahahaha. Simply love the news headline and the news itself xD
Simply classic!
Must be a friend of Hunter Biden. š¤£
If it was playing on a phone, then wouldnāt it be likely that this is the Xbox game that focused on cloud technology that was announced earlier? Avoiding the gameplay purposefully but Iām hyped.
Is this game for PlayStation and Xbox?
The fact that this man wanted to ensure so badly us to watch the leak really gives me chills. This is a new era.
Man, itās no good this leak, but, man, am I hoping itās true that rumor that Kojimaās got three games in a decent place right now.
Coincides wonderfully with Blue Balls studio or whatever they are called rambling on about a screenshot of something like a tree that may one day become more trees, potentially growing into a forest, which might or might not be a setting in a game which may or may not be available to purchase or laugh at.
Good graphics and animations, really boring "gameplay".
I don't know about you guys but the naked man looks a lot like Hermen Hulst!!
The game looks weirdly boring so far lol
@Deoxyr1bose hes videoing it on his phone from a youtube video on his laptop.
Would be disapointing if the horror game was exclusive to xbox as i think it would be fascinating to play Kojima's take on the genre after the PT tease
Interesting. Death Stranding isn't really my jam, but I'd be down for a good horror game. Although nothing about the provided snippet really stokes the fires of the imagination, does it?
My sources say The Naked Man is actually the villain of the game but is a person in the real world. The protagonist is the player actually inside the game outrunning The Naked Manās creatures and you will have to find a way back out of the game and defeat The Naked Man by putting him into the game. This is what he meant by breaking boundaries in games and movies.
I know itās just a little clip from an early build, but if this is Overdose I can probably do without it. Just bring on Death Stranding 2.
Ahh, the naked man. Works 2 out of 3 times.
@Mitsui It's not being played on a phone. The guy is just recording it from a phone.
@Snake_V5 It is being played on a phone. Look at the video of the woman in the bottom left who's playing the game.
@LiamCroft š I hope its not smartphone only.
This looks lame, as expected
Video was removed so thereās that
Any sentence on the internet that starts with āNaked man leaksā¦ā makes me very uncomfortable.
@LiamCroft You have just redeemed every terribly ill-conceived pun headline you have hard failed on in 2022. You have even redeemed your completely incorrect cat game opinion.
Still think personally this is the Xbox title, and the title with Elle Fanning is DS2.
first time you write a headline funny and smart
Metal Gear Squalid
Gotta love how 'Naked Man' just sounds like the name of a character that'd exist in Death Stranding.
Hilarious title for the article, thanks for sharing.
