Hideo Kojima recently presented actress Shiori Kutsuna with flowers, acknowledging her contributions to the game. Kojima's message expressed gratitude for her dedication, highlighting her work on motion capture in Los Angeles, 3D scanning, and voice recording (both Japanese and English) amidst pandemic-related challenges.
Kutsuna's involvement reportedly began in the fall of 2022. At Tokyo Game Show 2024, Kojima showcased Death Stranding 2: On the Beach with several two-minute cutscenes featuring key allies.
These included George Miller as Tarman, captain of the Magellan mobile base traversing tar lakes; Fatih Akin as Dollman, a former medium now a living doll; and the return of Léa Seydoux as Fragile. Elle Fanning portrays Tomorrow, a mysterious character discovered in a death-like realm, echoing the original Death Stranding tagline, "Tomorrow is in your hands."
One scene features the characters singing Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" while interacting with a pregnant woman named Rainy (played by Shiori Kutsuna).
