Kojima has revealed that Jordan Peele is one of several celebrities he is collaborating with to develop OD.
American film actor, comedian, director and screenwriter – Jordan Peele – will take part in OD, the latest work from Kojima Productions.
Hideo Kojima revealed this in an episode of his YouTube show HideoTube. Kojima gave further insight into Jordan Peele’s involvement.
“We met through my podcast and found out we were both fans of each other,” Kojima said. “We have seen each other a few times since then. We talked about wanting to work together and he will take part in OD.”
While Kojima wouldn’t explain exactly how Peele will be involved, he confirmed that he won’t be playing a character in the game, but rather will be “creatively involved.”
“No, not in that way,” Kojima said when asked if Peele will appear in the game itself. “He will participate creatively. I’ll get in trouble if I say any more.”
Interestingly, Peele isn’t the only well-known star to collaborate with Kojima on OD in a similar capacity. Kojima says that there are “other members like him” who are also working on the game. While he can’t reveal their names yet, he says they’re referred to internally as “the Avengers.”
“We actually call them the Avengers, but we have other members like him,” Kojima said. “If I announced the names, you would be surprised. We have a list of members we are in discussions with. But not everything is set in stone yet.”
He added: “If we announce these names, my name will be completely forgotten. They’ll be shocked and say, ‘What the ?’ Whenever I show this list to agents and managers, they can’t believe it’s true. They ask, ‘How did you manage to gather all these people who don’t listen to anyone else?’”
