While it could be that Hideo Kojima is once again messing with fans, a pair of recent tweets have some people thinking that the rumoured DLC for Death Stranding might be a very real thing.
The first tweet from Kojima has him talking about working from home. That might not seem important, other than the fact that he has blatantly placed a replica of Death Stranding’s BB on his desk. Again, it could be Kojima messing with his audience.
Here’s my way of designing new title w/Yoji. 1st we discuss the setting for each character, the background, the world, the color, the characteristics, the roles, the images, ideas and keyword going back&forth via E-mail. WFH & 20 mins direct discussion. Mostly texting via iPhone. pic.twitter.com/XCYpFwsQ6U

The next tweet, however, does require a bit of snooping from the viewer. Kojima posted a concept art drawing of a drawing of a spaceship. If you look closely, however, you’ll see the word ‘Bridges’ written on the side. Bridges, in case you were unaware, is the surname of the game’s protagonist, Sam Porter Bridges (played by Norman Reedus, who incidentally dropped hints of Death Stranding DLC months back).
Working on the concept with listening to “OASIS” by Kitaro I recently bought. I(I used to have the vinyl) Love the illustration by Shusei Nagaoka. pic.twitter.com/hRLyZmnhe5

Of course, none of this has been confirmed, nor has Kojima said anything about DLC for the game. And as we know, Kojima does like to mess with people. Regardless, Death Stranding is available now on PlayStation 4, with a PC release on Steam and the Epic Games Store on July 14th.
