Recently, Hideo Kojima presented flowers to actress Shiori Kutsuna in recognition of her contributions to the game. Kojima expressed his gratitude for Kutsuna's dedication, noting her extensive work on motion capture in Los Angeles, 3D scanning, and voice recording (both Japanese and English) across multiple locations, all while navigating pandemic-related challenges.

Kutsuna's involvement reportedly began in the fall of 2022. At Tokyo Game Show 2024, Kojima showcased Death Stranding 2: On the Beach with several two-minute cutscenes introducing key allies to the protagonist.

These include George Miller as Tarman, captain of the Magellan mobile base traversing tar lakes; Fatih Akin as Dollman, a former medium now a living doll; and the returning Léa Seydoux as Fragile. Elle Fanning portrays the mysterious Tomorrow, discovered in a location resembling the afterlife. Interestingly, the original Death Stranding tagline was "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).
