Death Stranding 2’s Twist: Honoring or Repeating MGS2’s Shocking Prototype Swap?

Wearing a bandana and military garb, Neil bears an striking resemblance to the character Solid Snake, leading some to speculate that this could be a hint towards a change in the main character. This isn’t the first time Kojima has taken a bold move with a game’s protagonist, as seen in MGS2: Sons of Liberty, where players were surprised to discover they wouldn’t be controlling Solid Snake but rather Raiden instead. While it’s possible that Neil could step into Sam’s shoes as the main character, it might be prudent to steer clear of such a dramatic shift in the narrative.
