Was randomly reading through this article that was just published and I caught this question and answer:

Interviewer: “Okay, so you got the book going on, you’ve got the final season coming out, then the spinoff, and you’re filming Death Stranding, the video game.”

Reedus: “We just started the second one.

…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.”

Full interview here: https://www.leoedit.com/culture/norman-reedus-on-the-end-of-an-era/

EDIT: I sent a tip to PushSquare about it this morning as well and they are now reporting it (although they are using sources who posted this on Twitter an hour after me posting this): https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2022/05/death-stranding-2-just-got-outed-by-norman-reedus

 

[amigastar]

Still haven't played the first one.

 

[kyliethicc]

Idk could have just been the new content for the director’s cut.

Sounds like an old interview. It winning awards was almost 3 years ago.

Weird.

 

[lh032]

I just hope the second one has ACTUAL city with variety of locations to explore, with more action gameplay

Interview from May 17th

He is saying that it won awards, in the past

Dude just spilled the beans casually, lol

Awesome, loved Death Stranding. But I wanted an horror game from Kojima before the sequel.

I hope so lol I want a sequel too.

The question seems odd tho. Says Reedus is filming Death Stranding, a 2019 game, yet it’s 2022?

 

[Thirty7ven]

High hopes for the sequel.

 

[Draugoth]

Wouldnt he be under NDA?

 

[jroc74]

I would be ready for this day one.

1 is such a weird, wild, and amazing game. With a great soundtrack.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the next game that we will see from KojiPro.

 

[ManaByte]

There goes that dumb Silent Hill conspiracy.

 

[balls of snow]

They tease underground cities and you never see em in DS..
Kojima!

 

[MHubert]

oh yes

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Wouldnt he be under NDA?

Yeah but the guy is sloppy as you know, speaks his mind. High hopes for the new one!

 

[lostinblue]

What are the odds that the second one is just a long ingame cutscene/film.

 

[lh032]

There goes that dumb Silent Hill conspiracy.

multiverse.

 

[RoboFu]

I don’t understand how there can be a second one … but I guess you shoe horn any explanation if you need to fit a sequel.

 

[Moses85]

 

[Punished Miku]

Lame.

 

[SlimySnake]

Just started it? 3 years later?

I mean im glad that there is a DS2 but why did it take them 3 years to greenlight it?

 

[Magic Carpet]

Just checked the Xbox store, I cant find the first one.

 

[rofif]

nice. Death Stranding is the best game. Didn't need a sequel. Not sure what they will do there

 

[SLB1904]

Death stranding is one of my favorite games. No open world does open world like. Can't wait for the second one

 

[abacab driver]

I don't know anyone who asked for a sequel..bleh.

 

[sircaw]

Not played the game, but it never looked like the kinda game i would enjoy.

Some of the videos i watched, it looked rather boring to me,

Perhaps if it comes to Sonys subscription service i will give it a go and see what the fuss is about.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I’m very curious what a sequel would look like. Cautiously hyped.

 

[Wohc]

I don't know anyone who asked for a sequel..bleh.

I know one: Monster Energy

 

[DonJorginho]

IF THIS IS TRUE I WILL COOM MORE THAN EVER BEFORE.

 

[Luipadre]

I dont believe him. I loved DS but dont think we'll ever get another one. Whatever kojima makes next im in day 1 tho

 

[Badlucktroll]

I didn’t fall for the
Kojima Silent Hill delusion, but of course it’s Death Stranding 2. Was hoping it was a new IP…

 

[rofif]

I know one: Monster Energy

Such a shame they removed it.
When I bought the game on release date, I even got a monster for immersion! haha

 

[remember_spinal]

 

[nominedomine]

I really liked it but I don't really want a sequel.

 

[nowhat]

Still haven't played the first one.

Do it! The Director's Cut offers some nice QoL improvements (although it may still not be your thing, but I suppose that's true for any game).

 

[John Bilbo]

i hope it's true

 

[MikeM]

Still haven't played the first one.

If you have a PS now sub, you’ll get access at launch of the new service .

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I need a coffee

I've not played DC yet. Only original twice on release.
I did bought dc on ps5 and pc though. I just like to play these games in winter.
What qol improvements are there ?

 

[ParaSeoul]

Its similar to what he said in the Brazilian IGN interview,he just mentions a second project with Kojima or we're working on another one,not specifically saying Death Stranding 2. Could be a way to get around NDA but I'm pretty sure those are airtight.

 

[The Cockatrice]

One of the worst gameplays ever made. I should replay it on PC.

 

[DonJorginho]

I need a coffee

I need a cold glass of champagne!

DEATH STRANDING 2 BABYYYYYY

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I don't know anyone who asked for a sequel..bleh.

I mean...read some posts above yours for starters. For a new IP the game did good.

 

[Heisenberg007]

There goes that dumb Silent Hill conspiracy.

Kojima has two projects. Silent Hill could be a PS VR 2 game; that has been my guess for a long time now.

Didn't this guy also do the PT demo?

 

[ParaSeoul]

Didn't this guy also do the PT demo?

I don't think thats counted as a project considering the full game didn't come out.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Hideo's gonna kill him off in the sequel for spilling the beans

Was trying to find a complete list of changes, but perhaps my google-fu is failing me. But there's stuff like https://blog.playstation.com/2021/0...ath-stranding-directors-cut-out-today-on-ps5/ and https://www.thegamer.com/death-stranding-directors-cut-changes-original/

Regarding the second link, once the highway around the mountain has been completely finished it is UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE. I spent several laps just going around it for no particular purpose, because it's so much fun just to experience it.

 

[OsirisBlack]

Yeah but the guy is sloppy as you know, speaks his mind. High hopes for the new one!

Or could be a less strict NDA, Disney’s NDA is pretty ironclad.

You can launch packages to locations with a canon.

You can use a hover pack to jump off cliffs and not die from the fall.

Basically they added some new equipment.

I cant wait until he sidelines Sam and you play as Fragile with a samurai sword
