Hideo Kojima May Appear in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2

Hideo Kojima may make an appearance in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, according to a newly shared image that appears to show his Cyberpunk 2077 character, Hideyoshi Oshima, in the upcoming anime.

The image surfaced in a Reddit discussion about Kojima's possible return on October 19, attracting attention from fans ahead of the show's Netflix premiere.

Kojima, best known for creating Metal Gear and Death Stranding, previously appeared in Cyberpunk 2077 through a cameo character modeled after his appearance.

Players can encounter Hideyoshi Oshima at Konpeki Plaza during an early mission involving V and Jackie Welles.

Oshima is presented as an influential figure in the entertainment industry who discusses the future of interactive storytelling and emotional experiences.

The newly circulated image suggests that the character could return in animated form, potentially connecting the events of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 more closely with the original game.

However, neither Kojima nor CD Projekt Red has independently confirmed the extent of his involvement or whether he will provide a voice performance.

According to the official Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 website, the new season follows a standalone story featuring an entirely new group of characters in Night City.

The ten-episode anime is being produced by CD Projekt Red and Studio Trigger, with Kai Ikarashi directing.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is scheduled to premiere exclusively on Netflix on October 20, 2026.

With its release approaching, fans may soon discover whether Kojima's familiar character makes an appearance in the new story.
