Kojima Shares Death Stranding 2 Cameo Details
Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2 is shaping up to be one of the most star-packed games of the PS5 era. Known for his love of cinema and big-name collaborations, Kojima revealed in a recent interview on @koji10_tbs that the team scanned so many people for cameos they ran out of space.
According to translator Genki, about half of the people who wanted to appear were turned away simply because there was no more room to include them.
The original Death Stranding famously included cameos from Conan O’Brien, Sam Lake, and Edgar Wright, alongside main stars like Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, and Margaret Qualley. This time, Kojima says even more famous faces will appear, especially as Preppers, the quirky side characters players meet on their journey.
What Can Fans Expect?
While Kojima hasn’t named specific new cameo stars yet, the sheer number of scanned faces suggests the game will be packed with surprises. It reportedly takes around 15 minutes to scan each person, and many of them also recorded voice lines.
Fans are now speculating about who might show up and whether we’ll get teases before the game’s release, perhaps at the upcoming Summer Game Fest where Kojima is confirmed to appear.
Outside of Death Stranding 2, Kojima Productions is also busy with other projects. They’re developing Physint in partnership with Sony and working on the Xbox horror game OD. Plus, there’s an anime adaptation of Death Stranding in the works, though details on that are still scarce.
Conclusion
Death Stranding 2 promises to elevate the original’s blend of celebrity talent, delivering even more cameos and immersive character moments. With so many cameos packed in, players will have plenty of surprises waiting when they step back into Kojima’s mysterious world.
So, stay tuned for more updates, especially as Summer Game Fest approaches.
