Prolific video game voice actor Troy Baker has joined the cast of Hideo Kojima`s Death Stranding, along with Emily O`Brien, another well known voice over performer that has been featured in a number of big games. O`Brien made the announcement on Instagram by posting a picture of herself with Baker and Norman Reedus, who has already been confirmed as one of the main characters in Death Stranding. `Honored to be working alongside these two fine lads on Hideo Kojima`s new project Death Stranding,` reads the caption. `I`m a lucky gal ;)` A post shared by Emily O`Brien (@emroya) on Feb 21, 2018 at 5:25pm PST O`Brien`s recent credits include Days Gone, which is in development at Sony`s Bend Studio, Arkane Studios` Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, Telltale`s Batman: The Enemy Within and Guardians of the Galaxy series`, and World of Final Fantasy. Baker, meanwhile, is reprising the role of Joel for Naughty Dog`s The Last of Us Part II, and most recently voiced Talion in Middle-earth: Shadow of War, Sam Drake in Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy, and is Batman/Bruce Wayne in Telltale`s series based on DC`s Dark Knight.As of yet there hasn`t been a confirmed Death Stranding release date, but Kojima hinted that it might launch in 2018. It also stars Mads Mikkelson (Hannibal), director Guillermo Del Toro (Pan`s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water) and Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead).The last Death Stranding trailer was 8-minutes long and, although it`s very exciting, creates a whole bunch of new questions, which is pretty standard for Kojima`s titles. In April, Kojima spoke a little about the game, explaining why he wanted Norman Reedus to be naked in the game`s first trailer. We`ve also since learned why its fog looks so nice.
