In related news, Hideo Kojima, the visionary behind the game, recently expressed his gratitude to actress Shiori Kutsuna for her dedication to the project. Kojima presented her with flowers as a token of appreciation for her completion of work on Death Stranding 2. Kutsuna's contributions included motion capture in Los Angeles, 3D scanning, and voice recording in both Japanese and English, navigating the complexities of the ongoing global health situation. Her involvement with the project dates back to the fall of 2022.
Hideo Kojima also took the stage at the Tokyo Game Show 2024 to unveil new materials for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. The presentation included several two-minute cutscenes that provided glimpses of the protagonist's allies. Notable characters include Tarman, played by George Miller, who commands the mobile base Magellan that navigates through tar lakes. Fatih Akin portrays Dollman, a living doll and former medium who has lost his human form. Additionally, Léa Seydoux reprises her role as Fragile.
The mysterious character played by Elle Fanning is named Tomorrow. According to the game's narrative, she was found in a surreal location resembling the realm of the dead. This ties back to the original game's tagline, "Tomorrow is in your hands."
One of the showcased cutscenes features characters singing "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head," a classic tune by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, while engaging in a conversation with a pregnant woman named Rainy, portrayed by Shiori Kutsuna.
