Hideo Kojima does not want to make extra downloadable content for Death Stranding 2. The famous game maker talked about this on his radio show recently. He thinks people no longer care about buying extra game chapters after release. Kojima Productions will fix bugs and add small improvements instead. They might include features that the first game never had.
The game almost featured a hair and beard system for the main character. Players could have cut Sam's hair and shaved his face at special mirrors. The hair would grow back over time and players could dye it different colors. Kojima removed this feature because Sam represents a specific character rather than a blank avatar. The system felt out of place for the story they wanted to tell.
Death Stranding 2 went through many changes during development. COVID changed Kojima's original vision for the project completely. He first planned a smaller expansion about exploring different continents. Later he switched to making a full sequel before scrapping that idea as well. The current game keeps only the opening scene from those earlier concepts.
