After all, Tsuda additionally gives the Japanese voice appearing for the Norman Reedus-potrayed Sam Porter Bridges.

Naturally, followers on Reddit reckon this tease could possibly be hinting at Tsuda attending to do a full efficiency seize for his personal character in DS2, relatively than solely offering the voice for one anyone else had executed all of the mo-cap and modelling for, so we’ll should see if that transpires.

Inevitably, given the timing, the teaser’s additionally stoked some hypothesis amongst followers that Kojima might probably pop up at this week’s Gamescom to share one thing DS2-related.
