Back in 2014, Kojima criticized Silent Hill for leaning too heavily into action. He said he wanted to go back to its roots and make a real horror game.

So do you think OD will completely remove combat like P.T., or will it have something more like SH1?

April 2025 — Bill visited Kojima Productions, and Yoji Shinkawa gave him an illustration.

Kojima Makes a Major Prediction About the “New Games” of the 5G Era

A few years after this interview, Netflix launched its gaming service and Amazon introduced Luna. Recent reports this year indicate that Amazon plans to integrate Luna directly into Prime Video.

Looking at the current landscape—where console prices keep climbing with no sign of dropping, and PlayStation is shifting away from physical media toward a fully digital ecosystem—the future Kojima envisioned doesn't seem that far off.

The following are all concepts that Kojima himself talked about back in 2014:

Silent Hills: "Make it episode by episode and release them early, with episodes 2 to 4 making up the 1st season. If it's popular, we move on to the 2nd season. If it fails, we can just stop. It allows us to manage risks."

"You shouldn't spend too much money on horror. When a game becomes a massive triple-A title, there are various demands, and you have to expand the scope and add all kinds of elements. When that happens with horror, the whole thing falls apart."

OD: "It's a small-scale, indie-like project, even in terms of budget. 'Knock' is something I am designing myself. There is also another part being made based on Jordan Peele's vision of horror, along with various other types of horror. All of those together make up the larger project called OD."
