Hideo Kojima's latest game, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, has arrived on PlayStation 5. While players continue to pour over the details, they may find a few Easter eggs that were placed in the game by Kojima himself. According to Kojima, he only took that hands-on approach because his staff refused to do it for him.
As reported by Game Spark (via Automaton), Kojima confirmed that he personally added those nods to his past. He went on to say that when his staff was asked to include his self-referential jokes, they would pretend they didn't hear him.
It's possible that Kojima was only joking about his staff's lack of enthusiasm for his ideas, but he did share the details about where one of his Easter eggs is hidden. He noted that it can be found when players visit a hot spring and look up at the sky before zooming in on the stars.
Later this fall, The Art of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach will offer an in-depth look at the creation of Kojima's latest game. But we can't say for certain if it will include any references to his Easter eggs. Players have already taken note that they can create roads in the wilderness simply by following the same path. Fans have also discovered a Death Stranding 2 Birthday Easter egg that occurs when you play the game on your birthday.
Kojima recently said that Death Stranding 2 was his most-challenging game to date, and was almost canceled. While Kojima does have ideas for what Death Stranding 3 may be, he has also indicated that he doesn't plan to make that game himself.
