Director Hideo Kojima recently presented actress Shiori Kutsuna with flowers, acknowledging her significant contributions to the game. Kojima's message praised Kutsuna's dedication, highlighting her work on motion capture in Los Angeles, 3D scanning, and voice recording (both Japanese and English) across various locations, overcoming pandemic-related challenges.
Kutsuna's involvement reportedly began in Fall 2022. At Tokyo Game Show 2024, Kojima showcased Death Stranding 2: On the Beach with several two-minute cutscenes revealing key allies.
These include George Miller as Tarman, captain of the tar-lake-navigating mobile base Magellan; Fatih Akin as Dollman, a former medium now a living doll; and the returning Léa Seydoux as Fragile. Elle Fanning portrays Tomorrow, a mysterious character discovered in a death-like realm, echoing the original Death Stranding tagline: "Tomorrow is in your hands."
One scene features the characters singing Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" while interacting with a pregnant woman named Rainy (played by Shiori Kutsuna).
