The playfulness of Kojima’s response (which included a photo of himself threatening Reedus with a Negan-esque, wire-wrapped baseball bat à la The Walking Dead ) suggested to some observers that rather than an accidental slip, Reedus’s leak might have been a coordinated effort on the part of the game’s creator. Kojima added fuel to the fire of speculation surrounding Death Stranding 2 at the Tokyo Game Show in September 2022, where a QR code at the Kojima Productions booth linked to a poster containing several Death Stranding symbolic references and a woman’s silhouette overwritten by the words " Who am <br> <br>This extremely alien and unrecognizable vision of America arguably strengthens the game’s themes, instead of conflicting with them.
