Casetify x Hideo Kojima: How to get free collectible cards with 'Death Stranding' merch - Mashable

Updated: Oct 19, 2026 5:35pm UTCCyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 has cast Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima in a role that will see him reprise his part from Cyberpunk 2077. Series game developer CD Projekt Red confirmed the news in a social media post on X/Twitter. The message teased that it's more than a throwaway part, too, as Kojima will be seen playing "the famous braindance director who was at Konpeki Plaza in Cyberpunk 2077" (via X's machine translation). The real-life game director was quick to respond and share his excitement, as well as a few pictures from his time recording his lines. His full statement, minus a few fun emojis, is as follows: "I make a cameo appearance in the anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 as Hideyoshi Oshima, the character who appeared in the previous game.
