Photos of the actor Timothée Salame from his meeting with video game designer Hideo Kojima have sparked rumors of a collaboration.

Kojima is currently working on the sequel to the critically acclaimed Death Stranding, with Norman Reedus returning as Sam Porter Bridges, along with Troy Baker as Higgs and Léa Seydoux as Fragile.

Both Elle Fanning and Shioli Koutsuna have also joined the cast, with Kojima admitting that he would essentially have to rewrite the game if Fanning wasn’t on board.

Now, a series of photos of Kojima meeting Salameh has sparked rumors that they could be working together.

The meeting appears to have taken place over the weekend, when Salameh visited the Kojima Production Studio in Japan. There, the actor posed for a series of photos.

“He’s dressed like he’s the next Protagonist in your next game,” wrote one user on X. Reddit was full of the same excited speculation.

The release date of “Death Stranding 2” has not been announced.
