Hideo Kojima is once again teasing a forthcoming game that could surface at The Game Awards 2022. Today, the creator shared an image featuring three logos, paired with the tagline, “Start a new journey.”
In earlier posters two logos had already appeared, and the third makes its debut here. The new symbol resembles a compass and carries the label Automated Public Assistance, which is being referred to as Automated Social Assistance in some circles.
All signs point toward a formal reveal of Death Stranding 2. The rumor gained momentum after Norman Reedus, who portrayed Sam Bridges in the original title, hinted at a follow-up in May, suggesting the project was moving forward under Kojima’s guidance.
The project remains shrouded in secrecy, yet multiple reports indicate that the cast will expand with two new performers: Shiori Kutsuna and Elle Fanning. Their involvement adds to the anticipation around Kojima’s next ambitious venture and the way it might blend cinematic storytelling with innovative gameplay mechanics.
The opening ceremony of The Game Awards 2022 is scheduled for December 8, and industry chatter continues to speculate about what surprise Kojima might unveil. In other gaming news, a fan remaster of STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl has been making the rounds online, with talk that it could see a release before year’s end. Fans are keeping a keen eye on how these projects might influence the broader landscape of narrative games and immersive worlds.
These developments come as part of a larger pattern in which Kojima Productions remains at the forefront of high-profile reveals, provocative teasers, and collaborations that keep players guessing about the next move. Observers are watching closely to see how the three-logo motif evolves and what the compass emblem might symbolize in the context of a new journey, new locations, and new storytelling possibilities. As the industry awaits official confirmation, analysts weigh the potential directions the studio could take, from branching storylines to experimental mechanics that challenge genre conventions.
