Fans are speculating about Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding 2 after seeing an image of him with Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan on Twitter. Recently, rumors have surfaced regarding the alleged sequel to Kojima Productions' debut game. Kojima has even teased fans with minor details about a mysterious upcoming project from Kojima Productions, sending cryptic messages to the legendary director's fans. With a recent appearance alongside Jim Ryan, Kojima has sparked new rumors.

The tweet from Kojima shows the Kojima Productions founder standing next to Sony Interactive CEO Jim Ryan, with the two having a long history of working together. While the tweet appears innocuous given that Kojima is one of the industry's most recognizable creators, the appearance alongside the PlayStation boss comes as rumors of a Death Stranding sequel have grown. Because Death Stranding is a PlayStation exclusive on consoles, the appearance of Ryan is significant.

The appearance of Ryan is just one of several events that have fans speculating that Death Stranding 2 is in the works at Kojima Productions. Recent teasers have confirmed actress Elle Fanning will appear in Kojima Productions' new game. After appearing in films such as Super 8 and Maleficent, this will be Fanning's first-time voice acting in a video game. A reliable Sony leaker even claims that Kojima Productions' upcoming game is the rumored Death Stranding 2.
