In the world of Death Stranding, the enigmatic figure known as Higgs is like the ultimate particle, central to the chaos and intrigue that unfolds. Played by the talented Troy Baker, Higgs is the leader of the Homo Demons, a group causing havoc in the United Cities of America. With powers to manipulate timefall, control tar, and create using Kyillium, Higgs is a force to be reckoned with. His journey from a fellow Doom sufferer to a porter with a dark past adds layers to his character, making him a formidable antagonist in the game.
As the plot thickens, Higgs's connection to Amelie, the extinction entity planning the Last Stranding, becomes apparent. Jealous of her bond with Sam, Higgs's actions lead to chaos and destruction, uniting the Homo Demons under his leadership. His role as a figurehead for the group, using Fragile Express to carry out terrorist attacks, showcases his cunning and manipulative nature. The intense battles between Higgs and Sam, with Amelie caught in the middle, culminate in a dramatic showdown that leaves Higgs stranded on the beach, setting the stage for his return in Death Stranding 2.
In the highly anticipated sequel, Higgs makes a striking comeback with a new look and mysterious motives. Sporting clown-like makeup and wielding an electric guitar as a weapon, Higgs's presence adds a new layer of intrigue to the narrative. His interactions with Sam, referring to him as brother, hint at a complex relationship that promises more thrilling confrontations to come. Director Hideo Kojima's promise of Death Stranding 2 being 100 times better than its predecessor, with moments so intense they may make players throw their controllers, sets the stage for an epic showdown between Higgs and Sam in this riveting sequel.
