Metal Gear Solid alum Hideo Kojima’s debut masterpiece following his departure from Konami came in form of Death Stranding, and the adventure left no stones unturned in establishing itself as a distinctive “strand-based” encounter. In the latest discussion, the Walking Dead star Norman Reeds hinted that the studio is working on a successor to Death Stranding, which took the industry by surprise a couple of years ago.
Reeds, who contributed the motion graphics and appearance of Death Stranding’s central character Sam Bridges, had a conversation with Leo Edit regarding his multimedia impact and future book publication. – Before developer Hideo Kojima made a formal announcement regarding a Death Stranding 2, there had been a slew of theories circulating since the original game’s launch.
“Perhaps Three or More Years to Complete”
As the actor addressed the show’s last episode as well as his own private endeavors, it was his unusually open remarks regarding the sequel to the 2021 masterpiece that thrilled gamers. “We (Kojima Productions) recently began the second installment,” he said when asked regarding the motion-capture shooting for the highly-awaited sequel. After a string of accolades and a “big phenomenon,” the team was inspired to begin development on a follow-up, according to Norman.

It required “perhaps three or more years to complete,” says Reeds, for the motion-capture procedures to be completed. As intimidating as it may appear, the protracted production period provides optimism for those who hoped for more helpful gameplay elements in the original Death Stranding. Furthermore, it is anticipated that materials from the previous Death Stranding would be maintained rather than rebuilt in order to save production time.
This year’s Death Stranding: Director’s Cut has included fresh material and objectives for PlayStation 5 as well as Windows gamers, however, it might not be sufficient to attract focus from gamers who were previously unimpressed. “…you’ll never capture the spirit of a person,” says Hideo Kojima in reference to the importance of human performers in entertainment, regardless of how far technologies develop.
“Actors are constantly in demand.” With the likes of Mads Mikkelsen as well as Tommie Earl Jenkins, the ensemble of the title may hope for a promising follow-up.
Death Stranding’s peaceful environment and underlying strand concepts offer a solid universe on which future releases might develop, giving potential for refinement and creativity. The popularity of the first Death Stranding, combined with the appearance of a veteran actor, has undoubtedly piqued viewers’ interest in an impending sequel.
