The Koji10 podcast had a few nuggets of interesting information for DS2!
Kojima talked about his original pitch or plan that was DLC for the first game or something like DS1.5 involving how the Death Stranding event affected the rest of the world and rockets given how Chiral clouds affect rockets and presumably space travel? Kojima approached Lea Sedoux about reprising Fragile in early January 2020 who absolutely said yes and wanted to include scenes and the story segment that would be at the end of the Director's Cut to end with a cliffhanger.. Due to Covid and not being able to record performance or voice capture with Lea or Norman Reedus, Kojima scrapped the DLC plans and instead reworked his pitch as a full fledged sequel and the Fragile and Sam segment for DLC became the opening for DS2.
Kojima touches on one of the systems they built and implemented in the game but ultimately dropped was the hair growth system for Sam similar to RDR2. You could allow Sam to continually grow out his hair and beard or you could stand in front of a mirror and cut and shave Sam's hair and beard. You also dye it different colors. Ultimately the feature was cut because if you're featuring Norman Reedus in your game then he has to look like Norman! Plus they found the data from DS1 showed players when given a choice mostly went with the gold or silver color schemes!
They've scanned a lot of friends and celebrities for the Preppers for DS2. So many in fact that they reached the maximum limit they could use in the game so Kojima had to apologize to a lot of folks for not making it in the game. Those that did most of them also did voice performance this round and were also given a choice of what kind of character they envisioned their prepper as. Kojima noted as of now he's not one of them or in the game. lol
No current DLC plans post-launch. Kojima says the market and industry has moved away mostly from these plans. Current post-launch plans including bug fixes and patches but Kojima might try to implement something he wasn't able to in the first game.
Kojima also mentioned hot springs are back and upgraded, and if you do something in the hot spring, something amazing happens..
