Death Stranding, the long in-development game by Kojima Productions, is still surrounded by mystery. After a lengthy preview at E3 2018, fans were left with far more questions than answers. The game will feature Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, Léa Seydoux and Lindsay Wagner. Over on his Twitter page, Hideo Kojima has shared photos of Norman Reedus’ Sam Bridges as a 6″ scale Figma by Good Smile Company. The figure still looks to be in development, as only an unpainted prototype is shown. Check out the photos after the jump.

From Hideo Kojima's Twitter, the prototype shows the character Sam Bridges (played by Reedus).
Even if the game ends up disappointing, that Figma looks fantastic. Will have to get that.
lol At the rate they are working on the game, the Figma will come out before it.
I'll definitely pick this up, the likeness is great and I love the overall look of the figure. Hopefully both the figure and game will release in 2019
This guy looks pretty cool, but I'm still holding out for my Space Invader... Do you hear me Goodsmile?
Are you telling me I could potentially own a figma Norman Reedus? Just like the game this figure looks amazing. Figma seems to be doing more and more of the realistic sculpts and not just anime characters which I enjoy.
I saw the various trailers for this game, it looks so fucking weird. I'm certainly interested in seeing how it turns out, especially with Reedus, Guillermo del Toro, and Mads Mikkelsen involved.
That said, I'm not really a fan of Kojima's work and don't get all the love. He does really good world-building and gameplay design and his overall stories are usually interesting, but the story execution and dialogue is often laughable and his gameplay-to-cutscene ratio is grating, with cutscenes and codec conversations that stretch on for days. Plus, if you look at all of his female characters, the guy's a major perv.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is more my kinda game. It takes place in Kojima's world, and Kojima and his team were responsible for most of the overall plot, but Platinum Games did just about everything else (story and gameplay), and it shows.
BTW, I doubt we're going to see the game released until the PS5 launches next year. It's going to be a launch title for sure at this point.
Yeah after MGS4 I can't really say I'm interested in any of Kojima's stuff anymore. It was pretty fun a the start but it really left a bad taste in my mouth. I tried Peace Walker when they ported it to PS3 but barely got into it and I didn't even bother with Phantom Pain.

And everything by Sony advertises the game as a PS4 title...
But yeah, "for sure"
No one's mentioning the Hideo figure hiding out in the background?

I never said the game wasn't going to come to the PS4, I just said I wouldn't expect it to come out until the PS5 is out. Think Breath of the Wild where it came out on both the Wii U and the Switch.
Of course, wasn't Kingdom Hearts III advertised to be on the PS3 at one point? Same goes for Final Fantasy XV when it was part of the XIII series.

As far as the gameplay footage, yeah it's definitely not anything super exciting. I think the point of it was to show off the engine and the environment more then anything else. I think the game will be open world but anything more then that is a mystery to me.
This game and Ghost of Tsushima have definitely pushed my patience as far as wanting to know more and wanting to know when I can play it, but I am hopeful they will both release this year still and be amazing titles for the PlayStation.
Well Ghosts of Tsushima, which I also expect is more than a year away, looks great because it makes me think of Onimusha. At this point, I'm only expecting The Last of Us 2 to make it out this year. Usually if they were going to release something for the Summer, we'd know it by now.
I love the design and will surely get this even before playing the game.
Also, I hope they will do more character like Lea Seydoux or of course Mikkelsen, in the trailers they look pretty cool too.
(also, is this a Kojima figure on the 4th picture?)
I'm still bummed Silent Hills got cancelled. That playable trailer was fucking awesome and the best anything Kojima's done in years.
Man I'm really hoping we get a Guillermo or Mads figure down the line. I also loved the design of the golden mask character who summons that giant lion like creature in the game trailer.
