Surprise! Hideo Kojima is making a sequel to his successful, critically-acclaimed new IP Death Stranding.
Death Stranding 2 is apparently happening. Neither Kojima Productions nor Sony Interactive Entertainment have made a formal announcement, but actor Norman Reedus has once again spilled the beans.
In a recent interview with men's style site Leo Edit, Reedus said: "We just started the second one."
This is actually the third time Reedus has spoken about working with Kojima on a new project.
Reddus' comments aligns with reports that Hideo Kojima rebooted Death Stranding 2 in late 2021, and Kojima Productions is currently doing heavy motion capture at Sony's California-based mocap studios.
Here's a quick timeline of events for Death Stranding's sequel:
