On May 17, actor Norman Reedus appeared to let slip that a Death Stranding sequel was under way. When asked about the original Death Stranding, he responds. "We just started the second one." He continues, "the game came out, and it just won all these awards, and it was a huge thing, so we just started part two of that." A recent picture of Hideo Kojima with Geoff Keighley suggests an official announcement of a sequel may be in the works for the Summer Game Fest.
This isn't the first time Reedus has let slip that a sequel is in the works. In August last year he said that another Death Stranding game was "in negotiations." Kojima is being a good sport about everything and teasingly told Reedus to "go to your private room," on Twitter after the recent slip.

Death Stranding released in 2019, so Kojima could be showing him parts of the original game, possible DLC, or a very early build of the sequel.
There's a slim chance it's something else entirely, but it's looking more and more likely we'll get some Death Stranding news at Summer Game Fest, starting June 9. The event will be streamed live into IMAX cinemas, so you can see all the new announcements on the biggest screen possible.
