Reedus also touched on his experience with the first game and his anticipation for the sequel. Despite the complexities, he expressed unwavering trust in the visionary creator, Hideo Kojima. "As far as working with him and understanding where his head’s at, I don’t think anybody can understand where his head’s at," Reedus remarked. "He’s just that guy, he’s out there and he’s got great ideas. But story-wise, I did know what was happening more. There’s more action in it, there’s more of a definite goal to get to."
Regardless of the challenges and intricacies within the Death Stranding universe, Reedus remains eager to be part of the adventure. "It’s always a trip working on those things," he shared with IGN. "It’s great, but it’s wild."
