Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has shared a new poster for Death Stranding 2 and a special thank you message to celebrate Kojima Productions’ 7th anniversary.
Shared on the studio’s Twitter page (below), the celebrations kicked off with a tour of Kojima Productions’ fancy new offices in Tokyo before Kojima himself appeared to tease a little more about his upcoming projects.
The Death Stranding 2 poster was shared later, and appears to show some sort of octopus locked in a containment pod. Credits to the game’s cast also feature, including names such as Norman Reedus, Elle Fanning, and Troy Baker.

“Kojima Productions is celebrating its 7th anniversary,” said Kojima in the clip. “I would like to thank everyone for their continued support.
“Have you had a chance to check out our latest title, [Death Stranding 2], which we revealed at [The Game Awards]? I promise to give you even more amazement and overall gaming experience than the first one. We hope you’ll be excited about it.
“In addition to DS2, we are also preparing a completely new game as well as some visual projects. I am hoping to bring you more information on all of these next year.”

As mentioned, Death Stranding 2 was announced at The Game Awards earlier in December and will act as a sequel to Kojima Productions’ first game that was released in 2019.
In our 6/10 review of the original, IGN said: “Death Stranding delivers a fascinating world of supernatural sci-fi, but its gameplay struggles to support its weight.”
