10 Crazy Celebrity Cameos In Video Games You Forgot About

5. Conan O’Brien (And Everybody Else) - Death Stranding

Whether you liked Death Stranding a lot like I did, or think it’s walking simulator garbage, there’s one thing that we can all agree on: There are a lot of famous people in it.

And I don’t mean the star-studded main cast either. Due to the fact that everybody lives underground hiding from the messed up world and displaying only in hologram form, there is plenty of room for recognisable NPCs. These included filmmaker Edgar Wright, industry heavyweight Geoff Keighley, and most notably Conan O’Brien. The comedian is called the Wandering MC and can be found at the home of the Cosplayer. Once you’re connected with him he’ll give you the Sea Otter Suit which makes swimming easier, so that’s nice.
