Kojima Productions has a new game starring Elle Fanning (The great).
A QR code spotted at PAX Aus gaming event in Melbourne, Australia leads to an image hosted on the Kojima Productions website, printed on her face by Fanning with the words “Who Am I?” The text to the side of the image reads, “A game by Hideo Kojima X Elle Fanning.”
The reveal follows a similar picture, with the face obscured in silhouette, which will be released online around the time of the Tokyo Game Show in September.
There seems to be more to come. In addition to the QR code, PAX featured a new poster with a different silhouette and the words “Where am I?”.
Kojima tweeted both pictures and implied there would be a third tease and revelation after the “where” question has been answered.
So what is this about?
The most likely possibility is that Kojima is teasing a sequel death stranding. Actor Norman Reedus, who appeared in the game, said in interviews that work on “the second” has begun. However, it has yet to be officially announced.
In fact, a producer from Kojima Productions retweeted Kojima’s tweet using the hashtags #DeathStranding and #WhereAmI. The producer’s tweet has since been deleted.
Kojima is also working on an “all new” game for Xbox, although that sounds like it could still be a long way off: “It may take some time,” Kojima warned when announcing the game earlier this year.
At the time, Kojima Productions also made an effort to take note of this it still worked with Sonywhich published death stranding on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
These two games fit the profile of one “big” and one “new” game Kojima told Famtisu magazine he was working on end of 2021.
But there is a third possibility: Leaker Tom Henderson in June reported that he had seen footage of a Kojima Productions horror game starring Margaret Qualley and the title overdose. Could that be Qualley’s silhouette in the “where” picture?
We’ll find out soon enough…probably. If the end of this breadcrumb trail is a full reveal of a new game, then so be it The Game Awards on December 9th would be a likely venue – Kojima has worked with host Geoff Keighley on announcements several times in the past.
