Director Fatih Akin has compared Death Stranding 2 to The Godfather Part 2.
Hideo Kojima's returning 'HideoTube' series features cameos from several Death Stranding 2 actors, including movie director Fatih Akin (who plays that very odd new ventriloquist dummy). The director briefly spoke about the new game as a whole, saying he was "blown away" by the whole thing.
"If Godfather is a great film, the first part, and when the Godfather 2 came, you never thought that after such a great film, you cannot make a better second part," Akin continues. "And it was better, Godfather 2, and I have the same impression of Death Stranding. I really love the first part of it, but Death Stranding Part 2 is like The Godfather Part 2. This will be better, even better."
That's some incredibly high praise for Death Stranding 2, considering The Godfather Part 2 is widely regarded as one of the best movies ever made. We'll have to wait a fair while until we can experience whatever Akin has seen, though - Death Stranding 2 isn't due out until next year in 2025, and elsewhere in the episode, Kojima reveals Japanese dubbing hasn't even started yet.
Speaking of The Godfather, in fact, Francis Ford Coppola recently debuted a look at Megalopolis, his upcoming film, starring Adam Driver and Aubrey Plaza. The sci-fi epic is set in New York City in the aftermath of a massive disaster and follows one woman as she struggles between loyalties for her father and her lover. We don't yet have a release date for Megalopolis, but it's tipped for a Cannes Film Festival premiere later this year.

Death Stranding 2 On The Beach's latest trailer was captured on PlayStation 5, and the impressive visuals showcased in it are likely to improve even further.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach’s most recent trailer made it abundantly clear that the game, unlike its predecessor, isn’t going to be set in the United State of America (or the United Cities of America, as it’s known in Death Stranding’s fiction), but exactly how far away from that setting is the sequel going to take players? Mexico was mentioned a few times in the game’s trailer, so does that mean Sam and co. will still be somewhere in North America?
Even one of Death Stranding 2's leading actors has no clue what the sequel is about because Hideo Kojima isn't letting any details slip before the recording starts.

And though crafting trailers that are deliberately mysterious and raising a constant stream of questions is very much Hideo Kojima’s MO for marketing his games, during a recent episode of his YouTube show HideoTube (the first in over seven years), he shared some significant new details on the game himself, while providing commentary for the aforementioned trailer.

We also got to know a bit more about the Edo period setting of the game, which takes right in the middle of the Japanese revolution.
