Gaming auteur new Hideo Kojima game involving Elle Fanning is officially in the works.

Elle Fanning May Be Starring In Death Stranding 2

While details about Kojima's next game are predictably mysterious, there are various clues suggesting that the game is Death Stranding 2 rather than the rumored Overdose horror game. The logo featured at the bottom of the poster appears to depict a rising or closing drawbridge, and bridges are a recurring motif across the world of Death Stranding. This logo also resembles an umbrella, possibly in reference to Léa Seydoux's character Fragile and her futuristic umbrella from the first game. The logo is also similar to the Knot City logos from Death Stranding, further cementing the connection. White strands running vertically across the poster of Elle Fanning serve as a final connection, with strands being another motif present throughout Death Stranding and its initial promotion.

Recent reports suggest that Google Stadia rejected a Death Stranding sequel, lending even more credibility to the idea that it will be Kojima's next project. The first game was filled with Hollywood icons like Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, and Margaret Qualley, so Elle Fanning seems like a natural fit for the sequel. Based on the poster's distinct logo and design motifs, it seems very likely that Kojima is teasing Death Stranding 2 rather than another unrelated project.
