Director Fatih Akin has comparedDeath Stranding 2to The Godfather Part 2.

Hideo Kojima’s returning ‘HideoTube’ series features cameos from several Death Stranding 2 actors, including movie director Fatih Akin (who plays that very odd new ventriloquist dummy). The director briefly spoke about the new game as a whole, saying he was “blown away” by the whole thing.

“If Godfather is a great film, the first part, and when the Godfather 2 came, you never thought that after such a great film, you cannot make a better second part,” Akin continues. “And it was better, Godfather 2, and I have the same impression of Death Stranding. I really love the first part of it, but Death Stranding Part 2 is like The Godfather Part 2. This will be better, even better.”

Speaking of The Godfather, in fact, Francis Ford Coppolarecently debuted a look at Megalopolis, his upcoming film, starring Adam Driver and Aubrey Plaza. The sci-fi epic is set in New York City in the aftermath of a massive disaster and follows one woman as she struggles between loyalties for her father and her lover. We don’t yet have a release date for Megalopolis, but it’s tipped for a Cannes Film Festival premiere later this year.
