Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will headline PlayStation's Tokyo Game Show presence, with a live stage presentation scheduled for September 29.
A development update is inbound, with actors Kenjiro Tsuda and Nana Mizuki confirmed as guests alongside Nicolas Winding Refn.
Nana Mizuki, who voiced Fragile in Japanese for the first game, could be featured in the image, perhaps hinting at her return.
The individual could be Kenjiro Tsuda, renowned for roles in Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
Kojima Productions and PlayStations are both confirmed to be attending this year's event in September.
As much as we've love to see them, these announcements have a slim chance of happening in the coming days.
The "adjustment phase" for the upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive will last for roughly a year, per director Hideo Kojima.
Death Stranding 2 is looking like it is set to deliver on the promise of the original and then some.
During a recent episode of his long-dormant YouTube show, director Hideo Kojima revealed a key game detail for his studio's upcoming game.
New details have also been revealed on the ship that will serve as Sam's base of operations, and how it will travel around the world.
Once again, a Kojima trailer has left us with a thousand tantalizing questions.
Action director Yoji Shimomura has previously also worked on several Devil May Cry and Bayonetta titles.
The puppet – whose name hasn't yet been revealed – is played by Jonathan Roumie, with his likeness based on Turkish-German film director Fatih Akin.
"If you have played Death Stranding 1 to the end, you will understand," Kojima says about the absence of Mikkelsen's character in the upcoming sequel.
Despite giving us a fresh look at the Death Stranding sequel in a recent trailer, Hideo Kojima has pointed out that there's more yet to be seen.
True to recent leaks, the game has been officially given a subtitle, though it won't be out until next year.
Leaks have claimed that the Kojima Productions sequel's full, official title is set to be unveiled as Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
A new trailer for the game will arrive within the next 15 days, a prominent and reliable leaker has claimed.
