Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima is a very busy guy. Since parting ways with Metal Gear publisher Konami and forming Kojima Productions as an independent studio in 2015, Kojima has released. Death Stranding in partnership with Sony, and announced three more titles: Death Stranding 2action-espionage game Physint (also Sony), and GET OUTa horror game published by Xbox Game Studios.

Not much is known for sure GET OUT, except that it will use Xbox cloud technology to do something (in Kojima’s words) that is “groundbreaking” and “immersive” that “no one has done before.” It will also be a collaboration between Kojima and filmmaker Jordan Peele (Get out, No), along with other unnamed composers. Read on for all the information we were able to find GET OUT.

What is it GET OUTrelease date?

No idea, sorry. Kojima Productions and Xbox Game Studios have not announced a release date for GET OUT. Another thing we will say is, about the studio’s Death Stranding 2 will be released in 2025, it is not very easy GET OUT it will come out before 2026 early.

No GET OUT Is the Xbox unique?

It’s hard to say! Since it was published by Xbox Game Studios, the assumption is that GET OUT it will be released on Xbox Series X and Windows PC, as well as being proud of the Game Pass subscription service, as all Xbox home games do. But it is notable that there are no platforms mentioned in the trailer. Depending on how long it takes to do it, it is impossible GET OUT it will come from the next generation of Xbox hardware.

It’s also possible that Microsoft chooses to publish it on other, competing platforms, such as PlayStation – it’s a choice it’s making recently for Xbox titles like. Sea of ​​Thieves, and, reportedly, no Microsoft game is considered off the table for multiplatform publishing. That said, the point of signing a Hideo Kojima game to your platform is the popularity and press it brings, rather than the big sales. So, that would be a strong argument in favor of GET OUT Xbox console-exclusive.

Another thing that can affect GET OUTThe availability of the platform is its use of Xbox cloud gaming technology. This could restrict it to Xbox platforms only – or, as the case may be, it could enable the game to be played anywhere, on anything. Will GET OUT be the first exclusive Xbox cloud game?

Who is in the cast?

GET OUTand present their performances: Sophia Lillis (It, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves), Hunter Schafer (Euphoria), and Udo Kier (actually hundreds of Hollywood and Euro movies from the 1970s to now). Nothing is known about the roles the three actors will play.

One person not guaranteed to appear on GET OUT i Margaret Qualley. Qualley appeared in a leaked video clip of Kojima’s horror game titled Overdose born in 2022, but may have started earlier.

Who else is handling it, besides Jordan Peele?

When you publish GET OUT At the 2023 Games Awards, Kojima appeared next to Peele and revealed that he will be working closely with the horror filmmaker. GET OUT. Kojima also said that Peele was not his only collaborator on the project: He said that he had assembled a team of “legends” to work on the game that he called “The Avengers”.

The identity of the other designers remains a mystery, although Kojima has not boasted about their abilities. “When we reveal these names, my name will be completely forgotten,” Kojima said on Kojima Productions’ YouTube channel. “Every time I show this list to agents and managers, they can’t believe it’s true. They say, ‘How did you get all these people together who don’t listen to anyone? How do you do it?'”

Possible names with a scary background include Kojima’s friend Guillermo del Torowho played the role of Death Stranding and he was supposed to collaborate with Kojima on his horror game Konami, Silent Hills; and Ari Aster (Pay, Summer) who is one of the many Hollywood models who have visited the Kojima Productions offices in Tokyo.

What will happen GET OUTWhat will the game be like, and how will it use cloud technology?

Once again, GET OUTThe gameplay is still a mystery, although Kojima has strongly stated that it will be completely unusual.

Kojima repeated this message to GET OUTreveals, saying the title “is a game, don’t get me wrong, but it’s a movie. It’s a new form of media.”

Kojima Productions says the game “explores the idea of ​​testing the limits of your fear, and what it means to GET OUT with horror – while blurring the boundaries between play and film. “

Leaky Overdose footage (which is no longer available online) showed what appeared to be a typical horror game, with Qualley’s character exploring an abandoned building terrorized with a flashlight and being held by a killer. The video also featured a still image of a woman playing the game on what appeared to be a phone.

An unconfirmed leak from the game’s testing stated that the game was an “experimental experience involving multimedia players” with “lengthy cinematics” and “active and passive gameplay.” Players are said to “guide” the game’s characters using information from sources outside of the game, such as web pages.

Is there a connection with Silent Hills?

Kojima’s first terrifying attack was even canceled Silent Hillswhich produced a playable legend demo PT However Overdose unable to connect to Silent Hills either way (the Silent Hill franchise is owned by Konami), Kojima Productions dropped an Easter egg GET OUT‘s trailer that appears to be a – rather vague – tribute to an unfinished project.
