Is Hideo Kojima Bringing Back Conan O’Brien for Death Stranding 2?

Hideo Kojima, known for his love of blending games and Hollywood, has hinted that Conan O’Brien might return in Death Stranding 2. This came up when Kojima hosted O’Brien on his Brain Structure podcast. During their chat, Kojima casually mentioned wanting to ‘scan’ O’Brien again and include him in the new game.

This playful comment might suggest a continuation of their collaboration from the first Death Stranding.

In the original game, O’Brien appeared as a quirky in-game character known as The Wandering MC. He wasn’t just a fun cameo—his character gifted players an otter hood, a piece of gear that added both style and functionality.

Players could swim more efficiently while sporting this odd yet delightful outfit, making the cameo a memorable part of the experience.

Kojima’s approach to gaming often merges star power with storytelling. Death Stranding featured many well-known faces, including Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, and Lea Seydoux. O’Brien’s involvement, though brief, added an extra layer of humor and charm, aligning perfectly with Kojima’s unique style.

While there’s no official confirmation yet, the idea of O’Brien returning has sparked curiosity. Kojima’s comment seems more than just friendly banter. Fans know Kojima’s ability to turn casual mentions into creative surprises, so this could mean we’ll see another amusing Conan moment in the sequel.

With Kojima’s track record of blending humor, emotion, and star-studded casts, anything feels possible. If Conan O’Brien does return, we’re likely in for another unforgettable mix of comedy and gameplay.
