Hideo Kojima continues to tease Death Stranding 2 by posting another actor's silhouette teaser on X.
Anime and Death Stranding fans quickly pointed out that the silhouette matched up with the Japanese actor Kenjiro Tsuda.
Known for his voice acting in many popular animes, like JoJo's Bizzare Adventure, Chainsaw Man, and My Hero Academia, Tsuda also voiced Sam Porter's Japanese dub in the first Death Stranding.
It's unclear whether Tsuda will be Sam's Japanese dub again or have a bigger role to play in the game's narrative as a new character.
Kojima's announcement is reminiscent of the previous one where the silhouette turned out to be Elle Fanning; Fanning's role is reportedly so crucial to the sequel's narrative that if she had rejected the role, he would have had to rewrite the story.
With Gamescom starting this Wednesday, Aug. 21, Kojima's cryptic post might be hinting at an appearance with a trailer or some announcement.
That said, Kojima is the mind behind the Metal Gear series; his actions, like his storylines, are up for interpretation, so nothing is concrete until he's up on stage. Should he not show up, this will likely build even more anticipation for his confirmed Tokyo...
