He has had some rough time with Konami but now he’s working with Hideo Kojima on his upcoming game called Death Stranding. Del Toro spoke up on his role in Death Stranding today. Del Toro is not creatively involved in Death Stranding, according to himself.
Speaking with IGN, Del Toro said:
“I’m involved as a character. Kojima-san called me and said, ‘I want you to be a character in the game,’ and I said, ‘Gladly.’ He’s discussed his ideas so I could understand the character, but other than that I’m not involved, creatively, at all.”
He further added:
“This is entirely Kojima-san’s game. I think it’s gonna be a fantastic game, 100%. But this is him and his ideas. I’m just a puppet in his hands. My contribution is limited to being a cheerleader for his ideas and being scanned for long hours at a time. That’s about it.”
Del Toro is a character in Death Stranding, along with Mads Mikkelsen and Norman Reedus. Death Stranding will launch exclusively on the Sony PlayStation 4. It’s release date is not revealed yet.
