Shioli Kutsuna joins the cast of Kojima Productions’ mystery game

Still more questions remain

Kojima Productions has revealed another cast member who will be joining Elle Fanning in the studio’s as-yet-unrevealed new title — Shioli Kutsuna, perhaps best known for their appearance as Yukio in Deadpool 2, will star in the new game in an as-yet-undisclosed role.

Shioli Kutsuna’s presence was confirmed in another “headshot” teaser image, which sees the 29-year-old Japanese-Australian actor staring dead-on into the lens, engulfed in red light and emblazoned with the question “Where Am I?”, similar imagery was used to tease the identity, and the eventual reveal of, Elle Fanning, who film fans will recognize from cinema jaunts such as Disney’s Maleficent and Nicolas Winding Refn’s excellent psychological horror The Neon Demon.

Producer Hideo Kojima is yet to spill the beans on the new title, which is believed to be a brand new IP, rather than a follow-up to his studio’s 2019 release, Death Stranding. Kojima Productions is currently working on the new game in tandem with a sequel to Death Stranding itself. And, given Kojima’s close relationship with industry pundit Geoff Keighley, it seems likely that we will be hearing more about the mysterious new project at the upcoming Game Awards — currently set to take place on December 8.
