Fans will also hear her voice in the upcoming Bend Studios game "Days Gone" and other video game content like "Dishonored: Death of the Outsider," "Telltale's Batman: The Enemy Within," and even in "World of Final Fantasy." She has also starred in a handful of television shows, including "The Young and the Restless."
The work on "Death Stranding" continues. In fact, film director Jordan Vogt-Roberts recently watched Kojima make some magic by visiting him on the set of the game.
The "Kong: Skull Island" director took to Twitter to gush about the masterpiece that Kojima is making, saying, "Today I watched Kojima-San direct a cutscene. I've watched hours of his cinematics and witnessing one in real life was beyond special. 'Death Stranding' is unlike anything you've seen. Get excited."
There is so much excitement and hype surrounding "Death Stranding" not just because it will be the first game by Kojima after working with Konami for years, but also because of the unique video game elements that it brings to the table.
Although not much has been shown yet as far as gameplay goes, Kojima has shown confidence in their work in "Death Stranding," saying that the development is going faster than expected.
