Death Stranding 2: On the Beach features one character that sure looks like a dead ringer for none other than Alan Wake himself.
Yesterday at thePlayStation State of Playshowcase, Kojima Productions unveiled Death Stranding 2, now subtitled ‘On the Beach,’ complete with anew 9-minute trailershowing off the sequel’s story. Among the details is a new puppet, who’s makingAlan Wake 2fans do a double-take.
In short, everyone’s making the same joke: this is Alan Wake seemingly trapped in the Death Stranding universe. Quite why Kojima Productions has arrived at a character design so eerily similar to the famed author is anyone’s guess, but it’s garnering a lot of attention around social media.
Well, technically, the newcomer to Death Stranding 2 isn’t actually a puppet - it’s a ventriloquist’s dummy. But, again, we’ve got absolutely no clue what said dummy is doing in Kojima Productions' new game in the first place. That’s just one of many questions we’ve got on our minds, and they won’t be answered for a fair while yet. The one thing we do know is not actually Alan Wake, but is in fact a portrayal of Turkish-German film director Faith Akin, one of the many celebrity appearances that we can expect in Kojima’s new game.
