“They’re out of ideas”—Fans poke fun as Death Stranding 2 features a character eerily similar to Solid Snake

Death Stranding 2 has emerged at the forefront of funny reactions, as fans learned that Hideo Kojima's upcoming production features a character eerily similar to Solid Snake. Fans are, of course, intrigued beyond all limits to see what this video game has in store, and the enthusiasm is palpable in the comment section.

Hideo Kojima is popularly known for his mind-boggling storylines, post-apocalyptic world-building, and insane experimental skills. This time, the character's resemblance to one of the characters from Hideo Kojima's earlier action-adventure video games has prompted fans to don their detective cloaks and dive into over-analysis.

If there's one thing that netizens know for sure about this video game mastermind, it's that he never lays everything out on a plate. Unless it's cryptic and requires some brainwork, it's not signature Kojima.

Those who have played the epoch-bending Metal Gear game were definitely on cloud nine. They may have even expected a crossover or something even bigger. The character is briefly visible in the new Death Stranding 2 trailer, and one unmistakable thing is his beard. Is this a case of the same vibe on a different IP? Well, only time will tell. But for those uninitiated to the video game scene, here's a little info on what's the buzz all about.

We go back to 1987 when, for the first time, Hideo Kojima dropped the first Metal Gear game. The character in question is Solid Snake, a former special force operative, featured in it for the first time. He was tasked to complete particularly challenging missions (no spoilers here, you're safe).

Fans love him for his exceptional tactical ability, intelligence, and witty one-liners. Now, coming to the upcoming game in question, Death Stranding 2 is a sequel to Death Stranding(2019). It is also set in a post-apocalyptic world where invisible creatures roam free, and therefore, players have to survive and supply cargo to particular locations.

As fans cook up theories from these two games and the incidental similarity we just found online, let us read the funny comments.
