To remove the age restriction of certain sites and software in the United Kingdom, clever little ones use the super realistic face of the hero of Death Stranding 2.
We can make many reproaches to Death Stranding 2: On the Beachthe latest game signed Hideo Kojima. But, certainly not its graphic quality. Army of the Decima Engine engine, PS5 exclusivity shines. The rendering is staggering of realism, whether for environments or characters. Hideo Kojima relies on real actors, like Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead), which resumes its role as Sam Porter.
Proof that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Go very far in details? Some clever little ones use Norman Reedus’ virtual face to go beyond age restriction rules, in place in the United Kingdom. This is in any case what Dexerto reports in an article published on July 26, 2025, supported by certain evidence seen on social networks.
How Norman Reedus’s face allows you to cheat
Since this month of July, the United Kingdom has set up strict rules to prevent people under the age of 18 from accessing content of pornographic or deemed dangerous. This restriction obviously applies to sites, but also to platforms like Discord or even social networks. In use, this implies proving its age by going beyond the simple check box. Very often, an identity photo or a simple “selfie” photo is requested. This is where Norman Reedus comes into play.
It is, it seems, possible to divert authentication algorithms with the hero of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Including when, to avoid abuses, a site requires taking oneself yourself in different poses: the photo mode of the game allows you to ask any pose from Norman Reedus, which can make him take different expressions (closed mouth, open mouth, smile …). The realism and the level of details are such that it would be believed that it is a real person, and the fact that the animations are credible helps to deceive the security put in place.
The graphics engine of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Perhaps is a little too sophisticated, and these cheaters come to confirm the impression-positive-that we had by playing. Note that the title of Hideo Kojima is not the only tool that offers the possibility of duper. Baldur’s Gate 3 et WWE 2K25 can also work.
