Hideo Kojima is teasing his next game with a poster of Elle Fanning
The next game from the creator of Metal Gear continues Kojima’s trend of using well known actors, but is it the previously leaked Overdose?
When Hideo Kojima decides to announce a new game it’s never with anything as simple as a press release or a reveal trailer, which is why he got so upset when details of his upcoming horror game leaked.
That leak, for a game apparently called Overdose, wasn’t very helpful though, as not only did it not offer much detail but Kojima seems to have so many projects underway at the moment that it’s impossible to tell which one is next.
The poster above is on the Kojima Productions website and was highlighted by a tweet from The Game Awards presenter Geoff Keighley, although he did so with only a question mark, so the only thing to go on is the words ‘Who Am I?’
It might seem impossible to answer that question at the moment, with some fans suspecting that Kojima is starting a ARG (alternate reality game – like the I Love Bees campaign for Halo 2) to reveal the game, but the obvious first guess is that the woman in the poster is Margaret Qualley.
Qualley played Mama in Death Stranding and is supposedly also playing the main character in Overdose – or at least she was present in the footage that leaked back in June.
Kojima has an increasing tendency to cast well-known actors in his games and so the question of ‘Who am I?’ could have a double meaning, in terms of both the character and the person playing her.
Rather than Qualley though, some fans think that it’s actress Elle Fanning, younger sister of Dakota Fanning, who made her debut in a film called… I am Sam.
The photos do seem to match up, and the connection between ‘Who am I?’ and ‘I am Sam’ seems like exactly the sort of thing Kojima would do.
