Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Director Pre-Emptively Apologises for Higgs Being Ridiculous

Kojima went on to talk about how the decision to bring Higgs back in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach came about because of the popularity of the character from the original Death Stranding.

During the Death Stranding 2: On the Beach special panel at SXSW 2025, director Hideo Kojima has pre-emptively apologised for how crazy Higgs will be as a character in the game.

Baker also spoke about reprising the role of Higgs for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, talking about the various characters in the game and how all the actors are trying to achieve Kojima’s vision for the game.
