OD - KNOCK is a Kojima Productions title co-developed with Xbox Game Studios, and it has no release date in this report. What exists publicly is merchandise: PARCO GAMES will run the pop-up store "KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS x PARCO GAMES STRAND STORE" at Nagoya PARCO from October 17 to October 25, 2026, following runs in Shibuya and Shinsaibashi. The event sells the first official merchandise for the game alongside collaboration goods from more than 15 brands.
The pop-up is the only public read on how the studio is positioning the title. Nothing about the game itself has been announced in this cluster of stories: no staff, no cast, no date, no platform listing beyond the co-development arrangement with Xbox Game Studios. The retail push is running ahead of any release window.
Everything else in the recent cluster concerns separate works. Kojima Productions shows no other activity in these stories. The merchandise line is the current state of the title.

Street data comes from OpenStreetMap, not Google Maps, which requires the credit "© OpenStreetMap contributors" when backgrounds are used.
