Kojima's New PS4 Game: Here's the Baby Prop From Announcement Trailer and Its Name

The announcement trailer for Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima's new PlayStation 4 and PC game, Death Stranding, showed a man and a baby (among other, weirder things).

Now, Kojima has shown off the prop he used to film the scene, and even gave the baby a name, Lu#2. Another baby, Lu#1, is also referenced. These names may contain clues, but Kojima didn't give anything else away. Here are the tweets and images:

In other news about the baby, Kojima himself has confirmed that it's not a clone of the character Reedus plays, but that's basically all we know right now.

Kojima also confirmed that he recently filmed a new episode of his HideoTube series. It will presumably air soon, though it's not immediately clear what the subject will be. Perhaps more details will be shared about Death Stranding during the event. Whatever the case, we'll bring you the news as it's announced.

A release date for Death Stranding has not yet been announced, but don't expect it soon. Recently, Kojima said, "Our game is still far from being released."
