His work is a testament to his boundless imagination and his refusal to be limited by conventions. And with the highly-anticipated release of Death Stranding 2, Kojima has once again raised the bar for the entire industry.
In a recent episode of Brain Structure, the podcast hosted by Kojima himself, the legendary developer revealed a fascinating insight into the creation of the latest game in the Death Stranding series.
Kojima confessed that he had long harbored a desire to work with actress Elle Fanning and had written a major character in Death Stranding 2 specifically for her.
The character, as he shared on the podcast, was so central to the story that he worried he would have to throw out the entire project if Fanning declined the role. It’s a testament to Kojima’s impact and influence that he can attract talent like Fanning to work with him on his projects.
With Death Stranding 2, he has once again proven himself to be a master of his craft, crafting a game that will likely be remembered for years to come.
