Hideo Kojima took the stage at Gamescom 2019’s opening night live event to shock and awe the world with more of his highly-anticipated action title,Death Stranding,and shock and awe he did. Not only did it showcase more of the known characters Mama, Bridge Baby, and Dead Man, but it even went so far as to reveal thatDeath Strandingplayers can pee. Going on, it was also revealed that a new cameo, this one for Geoff Keighley, would appear in the game.
For the uninitiated,Death Strandinghas a number of celebrity cameos and characters.The Walking Deads' Norman Reedus plays the protagonist, Sam Bridges, and Mads Mikkelsen, who has recently played inDoctor StrangeandStar Wars: Rogue One, plays the role of Cliff, a presumed antagonist. Joining these giants is gaming journalist and personality, Geoff Keighley.
Keighley, who hosts The Game Awards, the E3 Coliseum, and most recently Gamescom’s ONL, appears as a hologram inDeath Stranding, where he expresses relief for Bridges' delivery. It doesn’t appear that this is a one-off, either, as Keighley’s character asks Bridges for another favor and even said that he’d hate it if this moment was the last time the two met.

Hopefully, we’ll see more of Keighley’s character in the weeks leading up to the game’s release, but Keighley’s cameo certainly isn’t the strangest thing to be revealed all night. It was also revealed thatDeath Strandingplayers can calm the Bridge Babywhenever he or she gets fussy using motion control. Combined with the aforementioned ability to pee makesDeath Strandingall the stranger, even when it doesn’t seem that it can.
On top of these two mechanics, Kojima also revealed another extended look intoDeath Strandinggameplay, which shouldn’t be much of a surprise given its November release date. The months are dwindling down to its release, so sooner rather than later, players will be able to get their hands on the Kojima game where they can meet Keighley, pee, and calm babies.
