Key Takeaways

📺 OD Knock teaser trailer released by Kojima Productions

The OD Knock teaser trailer has officially been released by Kojima Productions, and it already has horror fans buzzing with speculation. The short clip, which you can watch on the official OD Knock trailer in 4K, reveals a terrifying sequence where a woman's home is invaded before she faces a sudden and brutal attack. While the footage keeps things vague, the sense of dread and the cinematic direction strongly hint at the type of unsettling atmosphere fans came to expect from Kojima's scrapped collaboration with Konami on P.T..


For many players, this teaser feels like the spiritual continuation of what P.T. might have become had it not been canceled. As one of the most haunting "playable teasers" in gaming history, P.T. left an unforgettable mark on the community. Now, with OD shaping up to be another deeply psychological horror experience, it has sparked a wave of discussion about which horror franchises stand out the most in the genre. Games like Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent often top these lists, but OD has the potential to carve its own legacy. With its tense pacing and enigmatic setup, this could very well be the next big horror title to dominate gaming conversations in 2025.

📺 PlayStation State of Play September 2025 announced

The next PlayStation State of Play is scheduled for September 24, 2025, giving fans a 35-minute look at both first-party PlayStation Studios projects and upcoming third-party releases. The livestream kicks off at 5 p.m. Eastern (10 p.m. in the UK), making it a global showcase event for players eager to see what's next on PlayStation 5. You can catch the full presentation on the official State of Play September 2025 broadcast.


These showcases have historically brought major announcements, from fresh gameplay footage to surprise reveals, and anticipation is building. PlayStation has already shared impressive teasers such as the Ghost of Yōtei features trailer for PS5, setting a precedent for cinematic storytelling and next-generation visuals. Fans are speculating about everything from updates on highly anticipated titles like Marvel's Wolverine and Fairgame$ to potential surprises involving third-party collaborations. While nothing has been confirmed, these livestreams have a history of pulling back the curtain on projects that define the future of the platform.

📺 Death Stranding anime announced with a working title

Kojima Productions has officially announced a Death Stranding anime adaptation, adding an entirely new dimension to the studio's most enigmatic universe. The project currently carries the working title Death Stranding Mosquito, and its reveal was accompanied by a moody teaser trailer. While no release date has been confirmed, the announcement itself has generated significant excitement, particularly among fans who have long speculated that the game's surreal narrative would translate well into other mediums.


The original Death Stranding released in November 2019 on PlayStation 4 before arriving on PC and later PlayStation 5, where it continued to expand its fanbase. Known for its unique take on traversal gameplay, emotional storytelling, and star-studded cast including Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen, the game carved out its own category in the gaming landscape. With the anime, Kojima Productions is pushing the story into new territory, potentially exploring side narratives, fresh perspectives, or even prequel elements that expand the lore of the Death Stranding universe. As someone who has spent decades immersed in gaming culture, I can say with confidence that this type of adaptation reflects just how far the medium has come in blending games with television and film.
