The Internet is abuzz after Hideo Kojima and Nicolas Cage met up

Nicolas Cage paid Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima a visit at Kojima Studios, and now the internet wonders if it’s a sign. The visit comes just a few weeks after Behaviour Interactive announced Nicolas Cage will appear in the horror game Dead by Daylight as a new survivor in July 2023.

The visit could very well just be a random one with no hidden meanings. Perhaps Cage, after wading into the world of video games with Dead by Daylight, decided to explore a bit further. Or maybe Kojima is just a fan of Cage’s and invited the actor there for a meetup. 

However, Kojima also has a habit of cryptic announcements and vague teases. Death Stranding 2 already has a cast of well-known stars in it, including Elle Fanning, so Twitter and Reddit naturally jumped to the conclusion that Cage would be starring in the upcoming open-world game.

Dead by Daylight and now this? Cage is keeping himself very busy,” one Twitter user said. 

Nicolas Cage as “Eccentric Actor” for Death Stranding 2” Reddit user Areis1618 said in a thread full of comments wondering whether Cage would be a prepper in Death Stranding 2 – a loner living in one of the world’s isolated bunkers, trying to survive.

Like with most Kojima teases, it really could go either way. We know very little about Death Stranding 2 outside an admittedly vague trailer from The Game Awards 2022, and it didn’t make an appearance during Summer Game Fest. Whether Cage does has a role in it or just made a new friend, we’ll have to wait a bit longer to find out.
