We'll go into more detail on the world-building Fox Engine later in this article, as aside from the tech that's going to realise the ideas behind the game it's important to look at what we've been given so far in terms of the interactive teaser and that of the title itself. The new name is either the nearest thing the PR team could get to calling a reboot the same title for the sake of marketing and brand recognition (hey, it worked for Aliens), or it could be our first hint at the latter-day multiverse-heavy elements making a return. Due to it being so early in development we're yet to find out which of the games in the series Kojima is drawing inspiration from, but as some spin-offs have dealt with alternate versions of the titular town, the new name could explicably be a reference to the wider universe lore. Not only that, but we know from Kojima's work with Kiefer Sutherland on MGS 5 - and now Reedus here - that he's getting very comfortable at directing film and TV actors where before he'd popularised his games with just voice actors. With the game industry embracing motion capture for everything from magnum opus The Last of Us to getting faces right in the latest FIFA, Norman's inclusion may only be the start of a star-studded cast, giving us multiple characters and worlds to explore with changing aesthetics to represent them.
