This week an image popped up online on sites like 4Chan and Reddit showing a blurry, out of focus picture of someone who looked like actress Emma Stone showcasing make-up in the style of Hidoe Kojima's upcoming game Death Stranding. Today we can confirm that the image is a fake.
The picture was taken from the YouTube channel Glam&Gore, which posted a video today with a detailed make-up tutorial to achieve the look. You can check the video out here. The owner of the channel, Mykie, also commented on the leak, saying:
"We didn't call it Emma Stone or a leak, other did and we didn't add any context, but yes that's a picture from this shoot. [...] It just shows what a strong fan base Kojima has cultivated already for this game. Discussion, debate and theorising from a simple picture is amazing to me."
Death Stranding is currently in development for PlayStation 4 at Kojima Productions, although no release date has been announced at the moment. Are you disappointed that the Emma Stone news was false?
