But what does Hideo Kojima concoct for us? This is one of the many questions that come to mind when the creator makes the news. As a good friend of Geoff Keighley, his presence at Game Awards 2022 was therefore obvious, especially since a teasing has been going on for several months now. Again this Wednesday evening, we were treated to a silhouette for a third actress joining Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna and three very mysterious logos, without knowing the exact purpose of all this. At the same time, between leaks on Overdosethe partnership with Microsoft and one death stranding 2 of which Norman Reedus had spilled the beans, Kojima Productions seems busy. The curtain fell and Hideo Kojima took the stage following the first trailer for…
death stranding 2 ! Yes, it was indeed Léa Seydoux on the recent visual broadcast. And if Sam Porter Bridges will be back and especially older, it is especially Brittle who is the center of attention, with her baby Louisa (indicated on the bib), badly battered by events and above all completely rejuvenated. We discover along the way Drawbridge, which appears to be the name of the organization our characters are now part of. This first preview ends with the appearance of a (space?) ship and the teasing of a mysterious character. Knowing that Troy Baker is also present again in the castingprecisely interpreting the song BB’s Theme 2022it seems almost too obvious that it is Higgseven if he wears hair, a mask and a necklace reminiscent of Amelie. Its appearance is also reminiscent of Raiden of Metal Gear Solid… In addition to mentioning the UCAhe talks about a private company called APAC. The video also shows us a funny cult carrying a sarcophagus, which could venerate Amelie if it is indeed her on the statuette, while the dream catcher of Sat is present at Brittleas well as the pod from BB, among others. Several inscriptions are also visible on the ship, which could be called the Magellanfeaturing the octopus-shaped logo used during the teasing. The theme of the game could well revolve around the question posed at the very end: “Should we have connected? or “Should we have logged in?” suggesting that our actions may not have had the intended effect.
No release period was given, but Death Stranding 2 is currently a PS5 exclusive and its title could still change, especially since its creator and the visuals prefer to name it simply DS2. We are not immune to a surprise on this side. What is certain is that it promises a much better graphic slap than its predecessor. Hideo Kojima for his part shared some additional visuals, between posters and photos of the actors during motion capture. The creator also said on stage that he rewrote the game’s script following the COVID-19 pandemic, because he did not want to “predict the future” againthe confinements undeniably recalling the situation in-game.
