Japanese VTuber Usada Pekora Is in Death Stranding 2, and We Don't Know Why 1

The original Death Stranding had some fun cameos, like Geoff Keighley and Conan O’Brien.

While a little strange, these worked because they were based on real people. If you knew who they were, then it was an enjoyable Easter egg; if you didn’t, then it didn’t really feel out of place.

We can’t say the same about Usada Pekora, a Japanese VTuber who will appear as a prepper in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.

For those who don’t know – and we can’t really blame you for that – Peko-chan is a bunny-eared Hololive streamer with carrots intertwined into her pig tails. You can see protagonist Sam stumbling upon her in the short video clip embedded above.

Obviously, this will all help raise the awareness of Death Stranding 2 among Peko-chan fans, but we can’t help feeling like the anime character seems totally out of place.

We suppose all of Kojima’s games have had strange, immersion breaking moments, though, so you’ve probably just got to roll with it and accept it for what it is.
