Death Stranding 2 Cast Revealed to Be Handpicked by Game Designer Hideo Kojima

Hideo Kojima is known for his ground-breaking games such as the recently announced Death Stranding 2. He is also known for telling very character-driven stories that people find hard to forget years after experiencing them. For such stories, a creator sure needs the full support of his performers, and that’s why Hideo Kojima always ends up having a good bond with his actors and actresses.

Similar is the case with Death Stranding, the game was full of performers who appreciated working with Kojima, all thanks to his unmatched vision. And that’s why he has an unmatched view when it comes to selecting people who will play a part in his games.

Hideo Kojima picks partners for his game Death Stranding 2, not actors

Hideo Kojima’s games always tell an intriguing story with an underlying theme reflecting a bunch of real-world problems. His last game, Death Stranding, which is considered by many to be one of the best games ever made, also made a statement about humanity joining hands to rebuild the world.

Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain talked about the horrors of war and nuclear bombs and their dangers. But he claims that to tell such stories, one needs partners, not actors and actresses. And that’s why, recently, while talking about the process of casting people for the upcoming Playstation release, he said:

“Since I will be spending a very long period of time working with actors and voice actors, I don’t let agencies/agents do casting. Of course, we ask agents to help us during the contract stage.

Various problems occur frequently in filming, voice recording, and game creation. Corrections and changes in plans are a daily occurrence.

I have chosen DS2 actors and actresses as special partners with whom I can fight together.”
