The upcoming game isn't the only Death Stranding -related project Kojima Productions is busy with. There is also a Death Stranding movie in the works , which follows the trend of many recent IPs on PlayStation. The movie is being made in collaboration with Alex Lebovici, who is the executive producer of the movie Barbarian . Not much has been revealed about this movie, though Kojima claims it will be revolutionary. According to the auteur, "the Death Stranding movie is taking a direction that nobody has tried before with a movie adaptation of a game." He also claims that it is not a typical blockbuster film, but instead, it will be an arthouse mo
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
Death Stranding takes place in a world that doesn't afford much human interaction, and as such is a largely single-player experience. That 'largely' is important though. The perfect antidote to a solitary world is the asynchronous multiplayer elements, letting you quite literally see the steps other porters have taken in their journeys, every piece of equipment left behind helping your
Most of this was seen in the ladders and climbing ropes people left behind, or the Timefall Shelters and zip lines. One of the most impressive, though, were the dirt paths players made by all walking the same trails. More of this could be amazing in the sequel, seeing players terraform the environment even more with the simple act of existing in the world. It feels like the perfect step to show how people leave their mark on the world, thematica
For the second time around, it would be great to actually see more landscapes unique to the American landmass. Dense forests of Redwoods, expansive deserts, and deep valleys. It's a treasure trove of geography to harness and could offer so many unique gameplay aspects, from rappelling down canyons to kicking up dust storms in a des
The theory that Kojima may be unveiling a Death Stranding sequel has been floating around for a while. Those rumors have, in part, been fueled by Kojima who has been consistently dropping cryptic hints at public events and on his Twitter account. This is nothing new for Kojima, as he is quite fond of trolling his fans and always keeping them guessing. This time around, fans did a fairly good job of predicting his next m
Kojima Productions is expanding the Death Stranding franchise with a sequel game and movie. As the release date for these projects draws nearer, more information should be released, though it is likely to be cryptic, as is the case with most of Kojima's marketing. Gamers can also expect to learn about the Xbox game the studio is busy with. Though Kojima seems very excited about it, gamers know next to nothing about this secret project so
Since his departure from Konami, Hideo Kojima has been flourishing with his studio Kojima Productions . Through Death Stranding , he demonstrated that he is capable of shaking up the industry while working independently, but Hideo Kojima isn't done creating just yet. There are quite a few projects the studio is busy with, and while none of them are likely to release in 2023, gamers will almost certainly find out more about these projects this y
From the reveal trailer of DS2, she's already set up to be a major presence once again. In fact, she's the core focus of the cover, too, with Sam only getting a brief appearance in the reveal. It's the perfect opportunity to let another character have the spotlight with Fragile, or even to let her be the second playable character alongside
Death Stranding launched exclusively on PlayStation 4 in 2019, bringing a dramatic, complex storyline to players around the world. This mysterious title is the brainchild of the legendary Hideo Kojima, and it boasts the acting talents of some of the finest performers in the business, including Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen. In Death Stranding, players assume the role of what is essentially a post-apocalyptic delivery man, but there's so much more depth to this st
Walking across America can be lonely, and it can be extremely quiet. There’s a great soundtrack in Death Stranding 2 missions Stranding thanks to Low Roar , who feature prominently in Kojima’s game. Low Roar’s songs only play in designated segments, which add a new layer of emotion to the scene. However, these songs are lost to the game after such sections are comple
