Death Stranding: Director’s Cutbrings Hideo Kojima’s first post-Konami game to PlayStation 5, and it does so with style. Kojima Productions was not content with simply releasing a version ofDeath Strandingon PS5 with slightly better graphics and performance, instead packing the game with new content for fans to check out. Some of this new content was advertised ahead of time, while some of it was kept secret, like a rather disturbingP.T.Easter egg that fans have been stumbling on.
For the uninitiated,P.T.stands for “Playable Teaser,” and it was essentially a demo that Kojima created for hisSilent Hillsproject. Unfortunately,Konami canceledSilent HillsandP.T.was pulled from the PlayStation Store. Despite this, the demo remains popular with horror fans, with many hailing it as one of the best horror gaming experiences ever despite its short length.

P.T.inspired a legion of horror games that have helped carry on its legacy, but Kojima Productions has also keptP.T.alive with clever Easter eggs. Kojima included aP.T.Easter egg inMetal Gear Solid 5, and now a newP.T.Easter egg has been added toDeath Strandingwith the PS5 exclusiveDirector’s Cut.
Death Stranding: Director’s Cutplayers have discovered a new dream sequence wherehero Sam Porter Bridgesnotices a mysterious figure in his shower. Upon investigating the shower, the perspective shifts to a first-person view, like inP.T., and the figure starts twitching violently. Its face then rushes the camera for a jump scare, with some fans thinking this figure is meant to representP.T.’s ghost Lisa.
This isn’t the onlycreepy Easter egg inDeath Stranding, but it’s definitely one of the most disturbing things that players can find in the game. And the fact that this Easter egg wasn’t in the original version ofDeath Strandingjust makes it even creepier, as even those who played the original extensively were likely caught offguard by it.
WithDeath Stranding: Director’s Cutreleasing just recently, it will be interesting to see if the game is hiding other Easter eggs for fans to discover.Death Strandingis a fairly long experience, so it may take some time for fans to find everything that’s hiding in the newDirector’s Cutversion of the game. In the meantime, hopefully Kojima shares information about his rumored horror game project soon, as it’s been seven years sinceP.T.’s release and fans are still waiting to see what afull-scale Kojima horror gamewould look like.
Death Stranding: Director’s Cutis out now, exclusively for PlayStation 5.
