Death Stranding 2 will have many new characters, but the game needs time

Hideo Kojima has unveiled new details of Death Stranding 2 development. Unfortunately, you should not expect a speedy debut of the project, since the record with the actors is still ongoing. The developer is still looking for stars to complete the production.

For the first time about Death Stranding 2, they started talking last year, but still Kojima Productions is silent about a probable release. There are many signs that gamers fascinated by the mysterious world and the adventures of Sam Porter will have to be patient. Work on the game is still ongoing.

Hideo Kojima regularly posts the results of her work on social networks and shares the frames of various stages of work on projects. In a series of recent messages on Twitter, the Japanese confirmed that he had not yet completed the record of the actors of the voice actors – the search for artists who could play the characters is still ongoing, and the experienced developer is actively participating in castings.

Actors are selected not only in quality of voice, acting and compliance with the characters, but also by their harmony with other characters and playing on the set. Since we do not select actors according to certain criteria, the most important chemistry between them is the atmosphere that they create on the set. The record will not yet be completed for some time, but I am already thinking about the casting of Japanese dubbing for the main new characters "DS2". Over the past few years, I studied, watching anime that I usually do not look, and trying to watch duplicated versions of streaming content, as well as BD. Casting – the key moment for both actors in DS2 and for the actors of voice acting in the Japanese version. I can’t leave it on others. I think it will work, although I haven’t made an offer yet. I wonder if they will accept him?

The director controls the process of searching for actors for the role of the main characters Death Stranding 2. The key condition – in addition to obvious skills – are positive relations that will develop between team members.

Since I spend a lot of time working with actors and actors of voicing, I do not allow agencies to be casting. Of course, we ask agents to help at the stage of concluding a contract. During filming, voice recordings and game development, various problems often arise. Revision and change of plans is the order of the day. I chose the actors and actresses DS2 as special partners that I can fight together".

Kojima also admitted that the game will "Many new characters", what made the studio look for suitable people longer.
