Death Stranding 2 News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will take place on a different continent than the previous game, Hideo Kojima has revealed. The famous video game designer confirmed this detail about his upcoming PlayStation exclusive as part of a recent interview that also saw him disclose some other information about Death Stranding 2.

Hideo Kojima and Remedy Entertainment creative director Sam Lake have teased a mysterious project they're involved in at Kojima Productions. Hideo Kojima is known for working with a number of high-profile actors and creators and inserting their likenesses into his games. For example, Death Stranding characters Deadman, Sam Bridges, and Cliff were based on full-body scans of Guillermo del Toro, Norman Reedus, and Mads Mikkelsen, respectively. Some of Kojima Productions' upcoming games will continue using high-profile actors and their likenesses, including Death Stranding 2 and OD.

A player has noted a similarity between Death Stranding 2: On The Beach’s DHV Magellan and Metal Gear REX from Metal Gear Solid. This potential Metal Gear Solid reference hidden within Death Stranding 2: On The Beach has sparked some conversations among fans about possible connections between Hideo Kojima's iconic franchises.

Hideo Kojima dropped a bombshell at the end of January, announcing that — alongside development of Death Stranding 2 — he would also be returning to the action-espionage genre that put him on the map with the Metal Gear series, in the form of Physint for PlayStation 5. And now, in a new episode of his HideoTube web series, the designer has explained how a period of sickness and surgery — and thoughts of his own mortality — convinced him to 'change his priorities' and do something fans had been asking him to do for years.

Kojima Productions released a brand-new HideoTube episode, wherein the eponymous developer explains that his relationship with Guillermo del Toro «saved» his life. The Kojima-helmed studio is working on a minimum of three projects currently: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, O.D., and a new espionage game codenamed Physint. Kojima touches on these three new Kojima Productions projects, in addition to his creative process and personal life, in the HideoTube episode.
