Well, it had temporarily gone quiet [Ahem – Ed] on the Kojima Productions front, but auteur Hideo has dropped one more tease ahead of tomorrow night’s The Game Awards. Previously, he’d posted silhouettes of actresses Elle Fanning and Shioli Kutsuna; now he’s posted a third silhouette with the caption: “’WHO’ ‘WHERE’ ‘HOW’ and now ‘WHY’.”
While the Metal Gear man has multiple projects in the pipeline, it’s becoming increasingly probable this particular product is Death Stranding 2, as there have been numerous leaks relating to the sequel over the past few months. Furthermore, a slew of Sony executives have been descending on the developer’s Tokyo office recently, suggesting some kind of marketing plan is being assembled.
Many are speculating that the third silhouette is Lea Seydoux, who obviously starred in the original Death Stranding game. It’s possible. Either way, we’ll almost certainly find out for sure during The Game Awards tomorrow: host Geoff Keighley was quick to fan the flames, retweeting Kojima’s cryptic message with questions of his own.

"I am besties with Hideo Kojima!" - Geoff Keighley, probably.
That middle character seems Fragile, but not that fragile.
Interesting that all the promotion has been centred around female characters. Then again a silhouette of Norman Reedus would be a dead giveaway.
@Fight_Teza_Fight Exactly lol.
Genuine question, how do we know that this isn’t the Xbox cloud project Kojima revealed at E3?
@Deoxyr1bose We don't, it's just that there's a lot about this that looks like it could be DS.
If it's death stranding 2 I hope they changed the game play. Could never get I to the package delivering
Looking forward to seeing what I can do with Norman Reedus jizz when facing the ghosts with umbilical cords!
WHO: Kojima
WHERE: The Game Awards
HOW: A trailer
WHY: Because Kojima is making a game.
Did I win?
The codename for DS2 is ocean. Maybe its like wind waker, sailing around in a ship to deliver parcel and fight tentacle like BTs. End fight is Moby Dick obviously.
@Americansamurai1 That's like asking COD to stop making gunplay cause it isn't your thing. Just find a different game.
The silhouette of the lady on the right kind of looks like the character from the leaked gameplay footage of Kojima's next game.
When is Metal Gear Solid 6 coming out?
@Nepp67 no I think I rather have them develop a game specifically for me lol.
@Americansamurai1 So what exactly is the point of your original comment then?
@Nepp67 just saying how I felt about the first game. Don't take it persona thought it was a cool world, but to me it was boring gameplay.
@Deoxyr1bose We don’t really. It’s just as the rumour has developed it’s started to sound more and more like DS2.
But there’s a chance it could still be something else for sure!
“Dad was such a drag. Every day he'd eat the same kind of food, dress the same, sit in front of the same kind of games... Yeah, he was just that kind of guy….”
For Kojima alone, I am excited for TGA. Everything else is window dressing.
Hopefully it's not the game that got leaked by the naked dude! I think the name was Overdose!
@Gaia093 We already know who they are except for the middle one.
Shiori Kutsuna on the right, Elle Fanning on the left.
@Korgon nailed it... Does this make you a leaker?! 😮
Elle Fanning is an amazing actor.
@Americansamurai1 How old age you?
I say it all the time, whatever Kojima's making I'm on board. But I seriously hope Death Stranding 2 is happening. Death Stranding is one of my all time favorites, a sequel would only be better. (It's Hideo Kojima, the sequels always surpass the original in many ways, and don't give me the "MGSV sucked" argument, that game was developed under special circumstances and it still is the best stealth game out there in 2022.)
@Deoxyr1bose think that's ages away yet wouldn't make sense to show anything ATM as it would most likely just be some CGI trailer that's subject to change
@Arthur_Morgan
Woah you might be right!😄
My guess would be Gwendoline Christie. Something about the hair and jawline. And I think she’s the type of actor Kojima would go for - aesthetically unique with an understated performance style.
@Arnna are you yoda?
Kojima's gritty telling of Charlie's Angels.
Will be interesting to see. Looking forward to either if it's Death Stranding 2 or the Xbox project
I remember when DS did this whole cryptic thing and it ended up being a walking simulator. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the less a game (or advertising) presents of itself upfront, the less entertaining it's actually going to be.
