Keanu Reeves has sparked speculation among fans that he may appear in Death Stranding 2, thanks to recent photos shared by Hideo Kojima. The first Death Stranding received mixed reviews, with some gamers criticizing its delivery gameplay while others praised its atmospheric and thought-provoking story. Despite the divided opinions, the game was nominated for several Game of the Year Awards in 2019 and went on to achieve high sales, leading to the announcement of Death Stranding 2 and a film adaptation.

The sequel was unveiled with a mysterious trailer at the Game Awards 2022 livestream in December. Since then, little information has been revealed, though Kojima has promised that it will evoke a sense of nostalgia while also offering unique experiences compared to the original. He has rewritten the game's plot to incorporate the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which occurred shortly after the first game's release. Additionally, Kojima has announced that audio recordings for Death Stranding 2 began in February. A recent social media post by the talented developer suggests that a renowned Hollywood actor may join the already star-studded cast of the game.

Hideo Kojima recently posted photos on Instagram showing Norman Reedus and Keanu Reeves spending time together in an undisclosed location. While the pictures depict Reedus and Reeves enjoying pleasant weather and riding motorcycles, some gamers speculate that Reeves may have a role in Death Stranding 2, given that Kojima shared the photos.

Not only is Keanu Reeves a renowned Hollywood actor, but he also has experience in the world of video games. He portrayed Neo in the 2003 game Enter The Matrix and appeared alongside Carrie Ann Moss in The Matrix Awakens, a tech demo showcasing the power of Unreal Engine 5. Reeves made a significant video game appearance in Cyberpunk 2077 and will be featured in the upcoming Phantom Liberty DLC, lending his voice and likeness to the rebellious Night City rockstar Johnny Silverhand.

In 2019, Keanu Reeves paid a visit to Hideo Kojima at the studio where Death Stranding was created. Impressed by Reeves, Kojima expressed his desire to collaborate on a future project. Kojima has a knack for attracting renowned actors to his games, having previously worked with stars like Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen in the original Death Stranding. Rumor has it that Elle Fanning will also play a significant role in Death Stranding 2. As development for the game progresses for the PS5, it remains to be seen whether Keanu Reeves will join the cast, further blurring the line between movies and video games in Kojima's post-apocalyptic sequel.
