Navigating a wasteland is never an easy experience, especially when said wasteland is a literal desert. Fallout: New Vegas is a classic open-world game, which brings a great yet stressful experience to players because there are a few unfamiliar and unfixed glitches. The lands are riveting with enemies for players to fight or run f

Choices are important in Fallout: New Vegas , and there are many different factions that players can side with or start wars with. These can have the experience become harder, as players may be hunted across the Mojave wasteland, and may mercy save them if a deathclaw finds them undeveloped and underpowe

Many things can go wrong for the player in Breath of the Wild , but many things can go right. Through trial and error, this can be a great open-world experience, in which exploration and combat remain the focus of the pla

In the statement on ResetEra, Dusk Golem stated definitively that Death Stranding 2 is in development and that its internal codename is Ocean . They went on to assert that the game is part of a standing deal between Kojima and Sony and that any reports suggesting otherwise or mentioning other parties should be rejected. This comment is apparently a reference to another rumor claiming Death Stranding 2 Patch Notes Stranding 2 is the game Kojima is making for Xbox , which is suspected to be codenamed or titled Overdose . However, given that Sony owns the trademarks on Death Stranding (this again per Insider Gaming), it is highly unlikely it would have ever allowed Kojima to make a sequel exclusively for Micros

Metal Gear Solid focuses on war, nationalism, and the covert nature of the state. These ideas have been relevant for centuries, but some of Kojima's messages have been ahead of their time; the Metal Gear machines began as anti-nuclear weapon metaphors and later became relevant as a warning about drone warfare and autonomous weapons. Yet the most interesting tale when it comes to MGS ' prescient stories is that of 2001's Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty . The game reveals that protagonist Raiden's missions were all a ploy to gather data for a sentient AI that aims to control the flow of information in society, ostensibly for its betterm

One motivation the AI in Metal Gear Solid 2 provides is that the digitization of its 2011 setting promotes frivolous information, harming society's collective knowledge. When everyone has a platform and there is an endless choice of what information to consume, trivial things have as much reach as significant or tragic events. This has now become a reality as social media promotes an ever-present 24-hour news cycle, whereby things move on and off of a carousel of information so those who disseminate information can maintain relevance. In some ways, MGS2 foresaw this trend that was precipitated by the move of news to online platfo

Despite being set in America, Death Stranding doesn't exactly give off the vibe that you're travelling across America, aesthetically at least. There's a good reason for that, seeing as the world is actually based on scans of Iceland. It works for the game, the craggy plains and towering mountains proving the perfect adversary to your jour

In late September 2022, a private document from Sony Interactive Entertainment was leaked on ResetEra by user Arubedo . A spreadsheet appearing to list forthcoming PlayStation titles, the document is dated 2021 and includes a game called Ocean, which was attributed to Kojima Productions. Leaker Dusk Golem on ResetEra claimed that Ocean is, in fact, a codename for Death Stranding 2, Kojima's next game . According to Insider Gaming , Dusk Golem has a track record for reliable leaks in the horror genre, so while some have questioned the authenticity of the leaked document, there are reasons to believe in its accur

One of the more tragic stories in Death Stranding involves Heartman. This Bridges member is greatly intelligent but suffering a great loss. Heartman lost his wife and daughter in a voidout, but due to his heart surgery occurring at the same time, he was present on the Beach to watch his family disappear to a Beach. To this day, Heartman searches Beach after Beach to find his lost fam

In the end, observers hungry for facts are left with little more than rumors and teasers. Death Stranding 2 seems like a sure thing, based on the hints dropped by Reedus, Keighley, and Kojima himself, dating back over a year, and the recent document leak is just one more piece of the puzzle. But none of this is confirmed, and even the existence of Kojima’s **Death Stranding 2 ** concept art doesn’t guarantee a sequel is underway. Kojima’s next project might be something else entirely, with rumors of a successor to his older work called Silent Hills also circulating. The truthfulness and reliability of these claims, of course, will be proven in due time. For now, Death Stranding fans will have to continue to read the tea leaves, hoping for something definitive about the game’s possible seq
