It's a good job Hideo Kojima is such a talented game developer, because, in an alternate universe, he may not have been such a good delivery driver if his performance while testing Death Stranding 2 is anything to go by.
For the past few months, Kojima's personal assistant Ayako Terashima has been regularly posting images on social media of the developer apparently playing a version of Death Stranding 2, often with something in his mouth and, in one case, covered in stickers. .
After a rather more innocuous photo posted on December 5, Kojima responded with a tweet he quoted as letting us all know that this particular shoot hadn't gone particularly well, stating that “I fell asleep twice during a delivery and crashed into the vehicle against a cliff. I lack sleep.

Perhaps it's not too surprising that Kojima is running out of sleep at the moment, as we may soon see a little more of Death Stranding 2, as it was announced that Kojima will be making his now-regular appearance at The Game Awards on December 13 , almost two years after the game's initial announcement at the show.
Subtitled 'On The Beach', we haven't seen much of the game since a 10-minute trailer released in January this year, with a photo mode revealed at September's Tokyo Game Show. Since the game is currently scheduled to release in 2025, perhaps a new trailer with a more concrete date is just around the corner.
