With many fans not understanding what Death Stranding was before it launched, Hideo Kojima has a history of making cryptic teases about his games. His most recent teases feature American actress Elle Fanning. Elle Fanning will appear in the upcoming Kojima Productions game, which is the apparent conclusion of this tease.
That does narrow things down a bit. Death Stranding 2 had previously been referenced in public by Norman Reedus, and Kojima is collaborating with Microsoft on a Cloud game. Many believe this tease is for Death Stranding 2, but the latter is probably still in its early stages. One fan has discovered some intriguing evidence for this.
More Information
Hideo Kojima tweeted some pictures of the actress making some peculiar movements after the identity of the teaser for Elle Fanning was revealed. Even if they had any significance, it would be difficult to interpret them. However, Knut, a Twitter user, made an important comparison: some of the gestures Lou can make in Death Stranding are similar to those made by Elle Fanning. The infant who travels with Sam Bridges is called Lou, also known as BB-28 and given name Louise.
Completing the puzzle
It’s important to note, though, how perfectly these puzzle parts fit together. The aforementioned visual parallels, the potential Lou storyline in a Death Stranding 2, and more are all strange in and of themselves. On Death Stranding, Kojima kept fans guessing for months. Such a heavy tease before a proper reveal (possibly at The Game Awards) is quite unlike the auteur. While there is little doubt that this is the truth, fans should temper their hopes and wait for additional details.
Conclusion
However, it seems obvious that Elle Fanning will have some sort of part in the upcoming Kojima Productions game, whether it be as Lou, another character in Death Stranding 2, or someone else different. And that alone suggests a Kojima Productions game announcement is on the way.
