Death Stranding 2 Could Be The Most Ambitious Sequel Ever Made

thegamer.com:

Death Stranding 2 is in development. While Kojima Productions is yet to confirm the production of a sequel to Norman Reedus and the Funky Fetus, the original game’s star revealed in a recent interview that motion capture on a successor has already begun.

NDAs clearly have no power over the rowdy biker, who was more than happy to talk about how he landed the role and how it felt to work alongside Hideo Kojima (and how different Death Stranding is from Ms. Pac-Man), all before letting us know that apparently he is already back on the volume to return to his role as Sam Porter Bridges. The developer himself responded to the recent news with a playful tweet featuring himself and Reedus, threatening to bludgeon his face in with a baseball bat for leaking the game’s existence. It’s a fun little nod to The Walking Dead, while also making it clear there are no hard feelings between the two.

Besides, a follow-up was inevitable.

Kojima and Reedus are just guys being dudes. Absolute besties sitting five feet apart in the green room because they’re not gay. Their friendship has been a sweet side effect of Death Stranding, with the duo clearly having a blast creating a project they’re both enamoured with. Deep down it’s all a bunch of melodramatic, nonsensical bullshit, but the creative vision at the game’s core is so unapologetic that it’s no surprise the studio’s debut has been such a success. If I could make a game with all of my celebrity friends I would, so good on Kojima.

Across PC, PS4, and PS5 it has sold north of five million copies, which is incredibly impressive for a new IP and proof that Kojima is more than capable of dealing out bangers away
