Initially pointed out on Twitter, YouTuber Suzi Hunter found a mysterious figure in the protagonist’s Private Room. The shadowy spectre seems to hover around the shower, switching the player’s view to first-person, and then flying toward them at speed. The scene then cuts out and the game continues.

So I'm playing Death Stranding Director's Cut and I entered the safe room and this is in the shower… This has never happened before. I'm scared, guys. pic.twitter.com/nooKxiQ21b

This Easter egg appears to be a reference to P.T., the cancelled Hideo Kojima project that has inspired multiple games since, including a Seinfeld horror game. The ghostly shower figure was certainly not present in the original Death Stranding.

Although P.T. will never be released, and was also delisted from PlayStation Stores, fans have maintained an enthusiasm for the project that has seen some incredible creations, such as a remake in Half-Life: Alyx.
