News | Hideo Kojima Sends Cryptic Tweet After Death Stranding 2 Leak

Actor Norman Reedus, who plays Death Stranding lead character Sam Porter Bridges, reported that production on Death Stranding 2 has “just begun.” There is no confirmation from director Hideo Kojima, but he is not denying anything yet. In a recent tweet, he seems to be responding to Reedus’ statements.

What Kojima exactly means by the tweet below is unclear. “Go to your private room, my friend,” it reads, followed by a thumbs up and heart eyes. The tweet is accompanied by three photos. The first photo shows Kojima with the ‘Lucille’ baseball bat from The Walking Dead; in the second photo, Norman Reedus is on his knees in front of Kojima, while the Japanese game director appears to be about to lash out with the bat. The third photo shows the two as friends again.

Back in 2020, Reedus said he was teaming up with Kojima again on a new game, and in August of that year, he reported thinking Death Stranding 2 was coming. Even before Death Stranding, Reedus would work with Kojima, while still working with publisher Konami, on a new game in the Silent Hill series, directed by Kojima and Guillermo del Toro. However, that game was scrapped by Konami.
