Death Stranding: Hideo Kojima Gives Plenty of Details; Teases New Reveal “In a Month or So. Maybe”

Death Stranding

Today Hideo Kojima was on stage at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York with Death Stranding Protagonist Norman Reedus to talk about their relationship and their work on the game.

While the panel was not livestreamed, Michelle Jaworski (via Resetera) posted on Twitter a handy recap of what was said and shown on stage.

We hear how the two met, and quite a lot of (at times rather cryptic, but this his Kojima-san, so you shouldn’t be surprised) details about the game and the philosophy behind it.

For instance, we hear that protagonist Sam has “lots of cool toys,” and some more about the open nature of the game, on top of how Kojima-san wants to invest players emotionally and provide them with the freedom to make choices.

Unfortunately, the years-old question on whether the game is coming to PC was not answered, but Kojima-san teased a new reveal in about a month (maybe.)

This mention of “a month or so” definitely seems to hint about a reveal coming soon, possibly around E3 period. This is actually rather mysterious since the game is published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, which won’t be at the show.

If you want to know more about Death Stranding, Kojima-san is currently assembling its parts and testing the gameplay on PS4. He also made a few comments on the state of development a few weeks ago.

You can read some semi-recent impressions by Head of Marketing and Communications Aki Saito and Reedus himself, and more by Guerrilla Games Managing Director Hermen Hulst.

For now, we know that Death Stranding is coming to PS4, and recently Hideo Kojima himself possibly teased a 2019 release. That being said it was a rather vague tease and it could have meant something else.
