Hideo Kojima recently presented actress Shiori Kutsuna with flowers, acknowledging her contributions to the game. He expressed his gratitude for her hard work, noting her dedication to motion capture in Los Angeles, 3D scanning, and voice recording (both Japanese and English) across multiple locations, even amidst pandemic-related challenges. Kojima's message: "Fantastic work, much obliged!" 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. These previews highlighted key allies of the protagonist. Among them: George Miller as Tarman, captain of the mobile base Magellan, traversing tar lakes; Fatih Akin as Dollman, a living doll and former medium; and the returning Léa Seydoux as Fragile.

Elle Fanning portrays "Tomorrow," a mysterious character discovered in a location resembling the afterlife. Interestingly, the original Death Stranding tagline was "Tomorrow is in your hands."

One cutscene 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 Shioli Kutsuna.
