Tokyo Game Show (TGS) is hardly the place for fashion, yet by the time the four-day gaming showcase wrapped up on Sept. 29, the only thing on everyone¡¯s lips were ¡°J91-WSDB¡± ¡ª the $1,700 (about ?250,000) jacket worn by Hideo Kojima during his stage appearance to promote Death Stranding 2: On The Beach.
Designed in collaboration with luxury outerwear brand , the jacket sold out within minutes of its announcement. Fortunately, this wasn¡¯t the only reason why the game industry celebrity made his return to Japan¡¯s largest gaming convention. For the rest of his stage show, Kojima unveiled some of Death Stranding¡¯s cast members, and it was akin to a film director introducing his actors. Hollywood royalty such as George Miller and Elle Fanning will be taking up the portrayal of characters Tarman and Tomorrow, while Shioli Kutsuna (¡°Deadpool & Wolverine¡±) will both portray and voice the character Rainy. Kojima also shared around eight minutes of cutscene footage plus an in-game event where Japanese singer Daichi Miura performed ¡°Horizon Dreamer,¡± a song and dance created just for the game.
