Death Stranding 2: On the Beach received a fresh trailer at the weekend, next to the release date, collector’s edition, box and more. And because the fans survived the details, he noticed a humorous combination with previous works of director Hideo Kojima: Metal Gear Solid 2.
The Box Art for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach shows the “porter” Bridges, presented by Norman Reedus, holding the child “Lou”, whose players of the first game recognize. Reddit user Revershetheflash Published “He did it again”, showing this box art next to the metal solid 2: Sons of Liberty Slipcase with a similar motif.
Metal Gear Solid 2 Promo shows the Japanese singer Gackt by holding a child in a similar composition. Although this is not one for one, it is certainly fun to note the similarities between two covers. It is also a reminder of a strange metal branch (outside the university) history.
During the ending game, Gackt was presented many Promise For Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It seems that partly included special coatings for playing in some territories that resulted in a random MGS ephemeral Both intriguing and confused people over the years.
If you are wondering why Gackt would be so involved in the Metal Gear Solid 2 promotional campaign, Kojima presented an explanation in 2013. The reason he asked Gackt to “be on tvcm MGS2 is” MGS1 “, concerned DNA &” MGS2 “MEM. DNA consists of “AGTC”, adding “K” Kojima becomes “Gackt”. “So it is.
Considering that the fresh Death Stranding 2 trailer has many metal vibrations, it is not a surprise that fans draw similarities here. Personally, I think that all similarities are at most a sign of repetitive ideas in Kojima games. Despite this, it is nice to speculate and wonder, and there is always a good time to travel memory with a promotional cover with Gackt.
Death Stranding 2: He fires on the beach on June 26, 2025 only on PlayStation 5.
