The Xbox exclusive, which was previously known as Overdose, was officially introduced during The Game Awards last week, along with a teaser trailer showing close-ups of actors' faces.
However, as spotted by Central Xbox, and verified by VGC using the trailer on the official Kojima Productions YouTube channel, the section involving German actor Udo Kier appears to have a hidden message in it.
While Kier is talking to the camera, faint letters appear in his mouth during five separate frames, which can be seen easier if the video's brightness levels are adjusted (as we've done in the header image of this article, where you can see the letter A).
In order, the letters spell out 'Atami', which is a Japanese city located in Shizuoka Prefecture. The kanji spelling of Shizuoka is 静岡, and when separated into individual kanji, 静 means 'calm', 'quiet' or 'silent' and 岡 means 'hill'.
