Hideo Kojima says he will keep OD quiet until release

Hideo Kojima wants to keep his game OD a mystery until release. “I want to keep quiet and release it,” he said of the project, as reported by GameSpot on 5 October 2026. The remark is brief. It leaves the explaining to the launch itself.

GameSpot carried the comment under the headline “Hideo Kojima Wants To Keep OD A Mystery, Even By His Standards”. The report was published on 5 October 2026. It offers no release date and no story detail beyond Kojima’s wish to stay quiet. That makes it the most recent published account of his words.

The comment sits alongside a new KOJI10 special now available with English subtitles. The video is titled ‘KOJI10: Hideo Kojima’s Let’s Make This The Greatest 10p.m.’ It credits Kojima and TBS announcer Maoko Hibi as cast, according to the video description. The format is a talk programme, built around conversation.

The description calls it the first-ever video edition of the KOJI10 ‘10p.m.’ show. English subtitles were supervised by KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. For a viewer new to the series, that means the full Japanese-language discussion can be followed in English. The supervision credit signals the translation was checked in-house.

It is framed as a one-night-only return. The show comes back one year after its Season 2 finale. The pitch is a single episode, not a new season. The gap gives the episode its reunion feel.

Viewers who want to go straight to games talk can use the chapters. ‘New Games: “OD” & “PHYSINT”’ starts at 29:57 and groups the two titles together. ‘A Sneak Peek at Unannounced Cast’ begins at 38:02, with ‘The Cast of “OD”’ following at 45:15.

The structure helps a first-time viewer find their way. Each chapter names its topic and start time. Select the time and the player jumps to that point. No prior knowledge of KOJI10 is needed to follow it.

The closing section turns to the studio’s anniversary. Highlights of the KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS 10th Anniversary Exhibition ‘BEYOND THE STRAND’ start at 54:20. An anniversary exhibition here is a public display marking ten years of the studio. The chapter sits at the end of the timeline, after the games and cast talk.

What makes this stand out is the contrast. A long talk special would normally be the place to share more. Kojima is signalling the opposite for OD. For fans, this means the next big detail may be the game itself.
