If you have a few tens of hours killing, maybe you have already plunged into the singular adventure of Death Stranding 2 which came out recently. A game still as divisive by its very concept, but which transpires the know-how of its iconic creator, which is not afraid to try new things. We will let you take a look at our test to find out what he is going exactly, but Kojima returned to his science of the Easter-Egg during an interview with the Japanese media Gamespark: he notably confessed having taken the time to include all these crisp secrets himself in DS 2.
Gamespark will have noticed it: there are lots of small references to the person of Hideo Kojima in Death Stranding 2. Hence his question: did he put them himself, or was it his team that took care of it? “It was I who added them all”replied the developer. “Even if I asked my team to do it, they would look at me with round eyes in” huh? “And would pretend not to understand”he continues, laughing.
He then embraces on an Easter Egg in particular. “For example, at night, if you look at the sky from the hot water sources, you will see an absolutely beautiful sky. And if you zoom, lots of things appear … Have fun trying. Well, some are likely to be a little shocked (laughs).” And indeed, one of the stellar constellations form his face, which then appears in color in the starry night.
This is not the first time that the head of Kojima Productions has appeared directly in a video game (as you certainly imagine). He was already present in MGSin the first Death Strandingbut also pointed out his nose in Cyberpunk 2077 while you can hear it in Control.
A cult of personality that fascinates and annoys, yes, but which has been part of the guy for a long time: note that Hideo Kojima has entered the Guinness Book to be the most followed video game personality on social networks. Just that.
