The original Death Stranding had its own bizarre touches, but it looks like Hideo Kojima is going even further with the sequel, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. At the Tokyo Game Show, Kojima Productions debuted an extended preview of Death Stranding 2 that featured new characters, a photo mode, and a living puppet named Dollman who has a song in his heart.

In the first scene, Norman Reedus’ Sam Porter Bridges is reunited with Fragile (Léa Seydoux), who introduces him to Tarman (as voiced by Marty Rhone, with the likeness of director George Miller), the captain of a submarine. Dollman (Jonathan Roumie is the voice actor, while the puppet’s likeness is based on Fatih Akin) also greets Sam and briefly reveals that he was once a human medium before he was stuck in his current form.

After that, Sam becomes acquainted with a pregnant woman named Rainy (Shioli Kutsuna), and a newcomer who goes by Tomorrow (Elle Fanning).
