With Kojima recently teasing a new project from Kojima Productions, many fans are eagerly awaiting the next title from the iconic developer and some believe that this new title may have a familiar face as its protagonist, aka Norman Reedus.
Hideo Kojima was one of the most prolific developers in the gaming industry for over thirty years. During his three decades with Konami and later with his studio, Kojima Productions, the celebrated Director contributed one of the most iconic franchises in video game history, namely Metal Gear.
After splitting with Konami in 2015, its development team re-established itself as an independent studio and partnered with Sony to create its first fully original game. Death Stranding of 2019, which starred actor Norman Reedus. Now, a cryptic tweet from Kojima sparked rumors that Reedus could collaborate once again with Hideo Kojima for the studio’s new mysterious project.
Kojima’s tweet shows a blurry picture of the production set for Kojima Productions’ new unconfirmed project with a particular figure dressed in a white shirt and black pants that hypothesized to be Reedus. Kojima’s relationship with Norman Reedus predates the development of Death Stranding as the actor was originally scheduled to star in Kojima’s highly anticipated Silent Hills, a reboot of the Silent Hill franchise that was scrapped in 2015 to coincide with the split between Kojima and Konami.

Although many have speculated that Reedus ‘potential involvement in Kojima Productions’ new project may be linked to the future of Death Stranding, no confirmation was given neither on the participation of Reedus nor on the nature of the project.
Game Awards host Geoff Keighley also made an appearance in responses to Kojima’s tweet, sparking speculation among fans who speculated that there may be new information about it during this year’s The Game Awards.
