Still, the details on the sequel are thin, and Kojima has not given the fans an in-depth reveal of Death Stranding 2 as he likes to keep it cryptic to keep up the hype and anticipation of fans. However, recently on his podcast, Brain Structure, Hideo Kojima might have slipped a few more details about Death Stranding 2. It is already confirmed that the lead character, Sam, played by Norman Reedus, will make a comeback in the second part of the game. Still, the impact of him being in the game has not been made clear by Kojima and how he is planning to continue the story of the game. Hideo Kojima has a different take on the ‘story continuation’ of Death Stranding. When he was asked about the return of Norman Reedus as Sam and how it will work together, Kojima explained more broadly how Death Stranding and Death Stranding 2 will work together. And according to him, the sequel will be nostalgic but new at the same time. Interesting to hear?
