Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is more than just a sequel; it's a full-blown celebrity playground. While Norman Reedus, Elle Fanning, and Léa Seydoux headline the main story, Hideo Kojima's world is also packed with subtle (and sometimes bizarre) celebrity cameos.
Most appear as
preppers
—isolated NPCs living off the grid whom you encounter during deliveries. Here are 20 cameos that eagle-eyed fans have already spotted.
1. Ma Dong-seok (Don Lee)
Known for
Train to Busan
, Ma plays Samson Hook, a prepper at the F2 South Distribution Center. Expect muscle and heart in equal measure.
2. Kate Siegel
The
Haunting of Hill House
actress appears as Olivia Westbury at West Fort Knot. Horror royalty in a hazmat suit? Yes, please.
3. Mike Flanagan
The director of
Midnight Mass
is now Mike Northcoate, overseeing things at the Northern Environmental Observatory.
4. Molly Quinn
She portrays La Madre at Villa Libre. You might remember her from
Guardians of the Galaxy
, but here, she's full of enigmatic wisdom.
5. Gen Hoshino
Returning as
himself
at The Musician location, Gen is both a delivery point and a nod to Kojima's love for eclectic soundscapes.
6. Usada Pekora
Yes, the Hololive V-tuber is in the game, as The Data Scientist.
