Norman Reedus has seemingly confirmed a sequel to Death Stranding is in development.
In a new interview with Leo, Reedus – the actor behind lead role, Sam Porter Bridges – discussed Death Stranding and said simply “We just started the second one.”
He followed up explaining how his role came about.
“Guillermo Del Toro, who gave me my first movie, called me up and said, ‘Hey, there’s a guy named Hideo Kojima, he’s gonna call you, just say yes.’ And I go, ‘What do you mean just say yes?’ He goes, ‘Stop being an asshole, just say yes.’ Then I was in San Diego and Hideo came with a big group of people, he’s from Tokyo, and he showed me what he was working on on a game called Silent Hill. I was blown away by what he was showing me, and I was like, ‘Yes, let’s do this.’ It’s not Ms. Pacman; it’s so realistic, it’s so futuristic, it’s so complicated and beautiful, and I was completely blown away,” he said.
“It took me maybe two or three years to finish all the MoCap sessions and everything. It takes a lot of work. And then the game came out, and it just won all these awards, and it was a huge thing, so we just started part two of that.”
Death Stranding, originally released on PS4 in 2019, was a divisive game.
Its PlayStation 5 Director’s Cut released last year, followed by a PC version earlier this year.
Until now, a sequel was not known to be in the works.
Eurogamer has contacted Kojima Productions for confirmation.
