Spotted by Reddit user Dellart (via PlayStation Lifestyle), one shot in the advert for O Boticário’s new perfume The Blend seems to reference Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding. Which is really odd. 

As you can see in the comparison video below (via MP1ST), it seems that there is an homage to the game’s TGA 2017 trailer in the perfume ad. The framing, the lights, the ropes on the titan’s body – could this be an acknowledgment of Kojima’s wacky baby delivery sim, or do great minds think alike? 

Kojima has teased the game on social media before and perhaps this is all part of his great plan. Maybe the Collector’s Edition will offer a small tester of the fragrance, along with the golden incubated fetus. Death Stranding’s due date is November 8 2019 on Playstation 4.
