Hideo Kojima is no stranger to sparking intense discussions and fan theories with his every move. Recently, a seemingly mundane image posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) ignited widespread speculation. This image, featuring Kojima working at his computer, might have subtly confirmed an upcoming State of Play event.
The aforementioned image was shared by Kojima's personal assistant, Ayako Terashima. While it showcased Kojima in a rather ordinary setting, working diligently at his desk, sharp-eyed enthusiasts deciphered intriguing details. If you zoom into the screen, certain fans believe they spotted a filename, hinting at the contents of Kojima's work.
The name "State_of_Play_trailer_DS2" could very well be a reference to Sony's State of Play presentations and the in-development sequel, Death Stranding 2. With this potential clue in hand, speculation about the next State of Play being imminent has gained momentum.
Sony's State of Play, akin to Nintendo's Direct events, offers fans insight into the latest games and announcements from the tech giant. Their last presentation took place on September 14, making the prospect of another one coming so soon quite exciting, albeit surprising. Traditionally, these events have skirted October since 2019, save for one exception back in 2021. Given Sony's unpredictable State of Play schedule, such as 2020's flurry of events including two in May, one in August, another in September, and a concluding one in November, fans are keeping an open mind.
