The Metal Gear Character People Think They Have Found In The Death Stranding Trailer

Yesterday, Hideo Kojima showed off the latest Death Stranding trailer. Kojima, as he likes to do, is teasing about “some clue” he’s left. Fans think they have found one: Psycho Mantis.

It appears that Reedus’ character has crash landed somewhere dangerous , where invisible creatures roam the land. The whole thing gives off a horror game vibe, so maybe we don’t have to be sad about never getting that Silent Hills collaboration anymore.”]

The character first appeared in Metal Gear Solid, using his psychic power to remind minds and players’ memory cards.

And fans think they can see the character in the new Death Stranding trailer:

Of course, Kojima doesn’t make Metal Gear games any more and does not own the character Psycho Mantis (Konami does), so this probably isn’t actually Psycho Mantis. But considering how the character was previously used to break the fourth wall, maybe it’s a nod to Kojima’s previous work? Or maybe it’s just another time Kojima has gotten in fans’ heads?
