澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hideo Kojima has been known for his... off-kilter publicity stunts but, if this latest appearance from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death Stranding turns out to be one of his silly games, it surely ♍takes the cake. 

Recently, a new perfume commercial from Brazilian cosmetic company O Boticário appeared online (so far, so normal), but those who have been keeping up with all the latest Death Stranding trailers noticed (via ) that it features a shot-for-shot recreation of ꧙one 🔯of the monsters featured in Kojima's upcoming new game of 2019. 

in the video below, and try to pretend there's no funny business going on. the likeness is so uncanny that we either have to assume Kojima is marketing his game through the Brazilian perfume industry, or O Boticário may be getting a sternly worded letter from PlayStation over the next few days. 

The and, to its credit, the entire thing is so weird ಌand barmy that you could easily mistake it for a Kojima-directed affair, but the Death Stra🍨nding appearance arrives at the 0:48 mark, for reference.

Kojima himself has yet to comment on or addre𝕴ss this strange turn of events, presumably because he's squirrelling away making Death Stranding the best game it can be before it's November 8, 2019 release date.

The famed game director and creator of the Metal Gear Solid series did recently appear during the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:San Diego Comic Con 2019 schedule, casually dropping the bombshell that he was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:initially recommended Keanu Reeves for the lead role in his 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming PS4 game, but went with Norman Reedus instead. Not everything can be 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077, I suppose.
