Death Stranding 2 Crosses New Development Milestone As Deadpool Actor Finishes Scenes

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach remains in development and has crossed a milestone. Hideo Kojima has announced that Deadpool actor Shioli Kutsuna, who plays Yukio in the Marvel series, has finished her scenes for the game.

"Thank you so much for your hard work! Despite the challenges of the pandemic, she handled 3D scanning, performance capture in LA, and both English ADR and Japanese voice recording across various locations. Great job, and much appreciated!" Kojima said (via GamesRadar).

Actors Yasuyuki Kase and Yasuki Kase also finished their scenes, and Kojima thanked them as well. He also presented both Kase and Kutsuna with flowers, as you can see in the image below. While some actors have concluded their work on the game, that doesn't mean the game is done. "The game remains in development," Kojima said.

Death Stranding 2 also features Norman Reedus, Troy Baker, and Lea Seydoux coming back from the first game, with Elle Fanning joining the series.

In other news, Kojima recently said his latest project--believed to be Death Stranding 2--is now in the "crunch" part of development ahead of its release. He said he also is beginning to wonder how much longer he can stay creative.

In addition to Death Stranding 2, Kojima Productions is developing at least two other games: Physint and OD. None of Kojima's upcoming projects have release dates as of yet, however.

Beyond games, Kojima is partnering with A24 for a a Death Stranding movie, though it's still early days for that project.
