Først blev det rygtet, at Emma Stone ville medvirke i Death Stranding. Så blev det rygte afmonteret. Så kom rygtet, at Diane Kruger ville medvirke i Death Stranding. Der var skuespillerinden selv ude og sige, at det ikke passede. Men det afholder hende ikke fra at rose arbejdet Kojima laver på spillet. I en samtale med Maidigi TV udtaler hun:
"We met in Los Angeles. My partner [Norman Reedus] is in this game, and [Kojima] just blew my mind. I was invited to, I guess, a wrap dinner, and he showed me his trailer, and I just went-" herefter laver hun bevægelsen af, at hendes kæbe falder. "He's legendary"
I et andet interview - denne gang med cinematoday.jp - udtaler hun yderligere: "I actually told him that he should direct a feature film. Because in his vision of video games, there's so much attention and so much attention to detail, that basically, you're watching a movie. His sensitivity towards performance is what sets him apart. I'm not a big video game player myself, but I was completely blown away when I saw his trailer. It's mind blowing. Visually, for sure, but what struck me the most is that it's very difficult in five or ten minutes to create a world, and to have emotion come across, and just wanting more."

Vi afventer stadig udgivelsesdato på Death Stranding, men forhåbentlig bliver vi klogere til E3. Death Stranding bliver udviklet eksklusivt til Playstation 4.
