Horzion: Zero Dawn has a nice little Death Stranding easter egg

In December, Hideo Kojima revealed he was working with Guerilla Games to bring his upcoming game, Death Stranding, to life at a much faster speed. Guerilla has given Kojima Productions access to their Decima engine and the two studios are actively working back and forth with each other to improve the engine and make Death Stranding better.

Their partnership has extended beyond business, however, as Guerilla has added a special nod to Kojima Productions and Death Stranding in their new game, Horizon: Zero Dawn. Game Legends discovered that in the game, the main character Alloy can find special artifacts such as an amulet that resembles the look of Kojima Productions logo within the main menu.

Furthermore, the description of the amulet describes a very specific look that we've seen before. Here's a translation courtesy of GamesRadar.

Abandoned Amulet (Very Rare)
This object is valid only for the curious merchants. Six blocks of metal oxidized twisted from one cable.

Sources: Special

Useful for: Exchanges with merchants

In the reveal trailer for Death Stranding, we see a necklace around Norman Reedus' character that is an exact replica of what is described above. Coincidence? Hell no.

Horizon: Zero Dawn releases exclusively on PlayStation 4 on February 28th, we gave it a 9.5/10 in our review and praised it for a variety of things. Death Stranding will also come to PlayStation 4 later down the line, but there's no official release date as of yet.
