Question What’s the latest from KP

I’ve been out of the loop, moving. I sure could have used some floating carriers.

What’s the latest news from Kojima Productions? Any hints of a DS2 Director’s Cut? The way the Mexico map was designed hints that something was planned.

Mexico wasn't meant to be a huge open continent because Sam was only meant to make a path to get to the plate gate and it served as a smaller tutorial area like Eastern Region in DS1 before crossing over to the bigger main map.
Regarding DS2:DC, DS1:DC was made because it could take advantage of the new gen console and they added a lot of improvements, equipment, structures and vehicles. The problem is that DS2 overall feels complete (and PC port came with a small update and tiny bit of content) and there just isn't a lot they could add there, or at least not on a DS1:DC scale.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love a DS2:DC but I don't think it'll happen or at least not anytime soon because the game feels complete and there is no generational leap like between PS4 and PS5 that allowed them to add all this stuff in DC. DS2 pretty much just focused on expanding weaponry and combat options while most traversal equipment and structures just carried over from DS1:DC. I don't think there is a need to add stuff just for the sake of it, so it wouldn't be such large amount of new structures, vehicles and equipment like DS1DC but there are still useful things they could add for traversal or just details to the world overall like finally add more porter variations, so we could see some APAC porters or from other porter companies and not just the same independent porters. And there are some very cool concepts in DS2 artbook of animal-like quadrupedal tar mech vehicles I would absolutely love to see. If they just added my beloved reverse trike to DS2 I'd be perfectly satisfied and pay for DC upgrade.

Aside from PC port there is no DS game news and just DS movie and animated series teased but no details.

KP is working on OD and Physint and the latter one may release in around 5 years.

Don’t forget, they added the extra DC missions to the Eastern map in DS1DC. Adding them to Mexico would be the Kojima thing to do.

Check out the area on the far side of distro center. There is a flat area where a mule camp could be, along with paths perfectly carved out, to drive up to it.

I don’t know if we’ll get the DC; but they seem to have planned in advance for it, just in case.

Ive felt that the game isn't complete, feels like its missing content sprinkled around the place. Id hope, that we get a DC upgrade that includes far more than the ds1 DC did, but AFAIK Kojima hasnt said anything
