Once again, a Kojima trailer has left us with a thousand tantalizing questions.
Action director Yoji Shimomura has previously also worked on several Devil May Cry and Bayonetta titles.
The puppet – whose name hasn't yet been revealed – is played by Jonathan Roumie, with his likeness based on Turkish-German film director Fatih Akin.
"If you have played Death Stranding 1 to the end, you will understand," Kojima says about the absence of Mikkelsen's character in the upcoming sequel.
Despite giving us a fresh look at the Death Stranding sequel in a recent trailer, Hideo Kojima has pointed out that there's more yet to be seen.
True to recent leaks, the game has been officially given a subtitle, though it won't be out until next year.
Leaks have claimed that the Kojima Productions sequel's full, official title is set to be unveiled as Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
A new trailer for the game will arrive within the next 15 days, a prominent and reliable leaker has claimed.
