But what the astute Japanese meant by this is still unclear.
Today, September 15th, Kojima Productions has unveiled a mysterious image. Which showed an obscured outline of a face, and the foreground is dominated by the text with the inscription “Who am I?”.
However, it turned out that solving this puzzle was somewhat easier than expected. As shown below, a Kojima fan managed to prove that the darkened face belongs to actress Elle Fanning.
For those unfamiliar with her extensive work, Fanning is best known for her roles in Maleficent and The Great. She also teamed up with Dutch director Nicolas Winding Refn, who provided her appearance on Kojima for 2019’s Death Stranding game.
Fans immediately had several theories as to why Kojima posted a photo of Fanning. A common version is that the actress will appear in Kojima’s next game. But there’s another more hilarious speculation that fits Kojima’s character quite well: Fanning’s sister Dakota Fanning played a role in I Am Sam. She and is suspiciously similar to Death Stranding’s protagonist, Sam Bridges, and the title of the film is a great answer to the question “Who am I?”.
If Fanning is really involved in a new Kojima Productions project, or if Kojima is just having fun, we’ll have to wait to find out for sure.
