Before Kojima left Konami, he was working on one of the most highly anticipated projects at the time: Silent Hills . Players were given a glimpse at what a Silent Hills game would look like with PT , or the Playable Teaser, and many thought it was one of the most unique horror titles available. Sadly, Konami canceled Silent Hills and PT was removed from the PlayStation Store not long after. Recent rumors suggest that a Silent Hill reboot is, in fact, in the works. While it seems unlikely that Kojima Productions will be involved with the project (considering that Konami still owns the franchise) anything could happen. The company did, after all, show they knew what they were doing when they released PT in the first pl

It's an interesting conceptual design that does genuinely make Death Stranding different from many singleplayer and survival-style games. However, Kojima's comments on the "strand game" genre mentioned sequels , some that may not necessarily be exactly like Death Stranding . In an interview with GameSpot, after being asked about the future of Death Stranding , he stated a new genre of games isn't defined by just one gameplay experie

There is a high likelihood that Kojima Productions' next title truly is a Death Stranding sequel, or a new "strand game" of some kind. Kojima is not usually one to mince words, especially if it's a game he believes is shepherding in a new genre for the med

_ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ and _ Death Stranding _ may be similar in the fact that both games have a few characters which act as father, or mother, figures for the protagonist but they differ greatly in the theme’s execution. Basically, both games are about dads to some deg

So while Shinkawa’s illustration isn’t a solid indication of what could be coming to Death Stranding 2 , it is possible that the sequel is in fact in development. Kojima Productions recently confirmed that it’s hiring for a new project, and Kojima himself has teased ideas for Death Stranding ’s potential followup ever since the game launched last November. On the other hand, it’s also possible that this version of the sequel was the big Kojima Productions project that recently fell apart . One can't say for sure until Kojima says otherw

I’ve obviously never played the PS4 version of Death Stranding , and I’m sure that I’m far from completing its 40-hour campaign, but nothing I’ve experienced so far stops me from claiming that PC is now the definitive place to play [[https://Deathstranding2World.com/ Death Stranding 2 patch notes|https://deathstranding2world.com/]] Stranding . The game is visually stunning, controls well, and runs immaculately; so far I’d say it was well worth the seven month wait. However, I still have a few hundred more orders to complete; one of which is my review of Death Stranding’s PC version which I’ll be carefully delivering to DualShockers readers later this mo

That manifests in-game as the many community-fed systems of infrastructure around Death Stranding 's world . Players can contribute supplies to survival caches, containers, roads, paths, and other important exploration tools for getting through the game's abstract, apocalyptic interpretation of the United States. Because the main premise of the game is re-connecting the isolated United States together after supernatural disaster, many of the gameplay concepts reflect that idea. Players are both encouraged and rewarded for placing objects in the world that aren't necessarily imperative for themselves, but could save lives for others, at least conceptually speak

Speculation about a new Death Stranding game aside, fans of the original do have something to look forward to in the near future. It was recently confirmed that the first part of Death Stranding ’s official two-part novelization will be released in February, penned by the game’s co-writer Kenji Yano. It might not be entirely new, but it will still give fans a way to bide their time while they wait to see what the future has in st

Fatherhood is explored in a different way in _ Death Stranding . _ Sam Bridges obviously goes through some form of it as he cares for bridge baby, Lou, as Sam has to explore the game world while carrying Lou in his pod which is attached to his chest. He develops a bond with Lou similarly to how a parent does with a child (he does carry Lou around like a mom). In fact, motherhood might be just as important a theme as fatherhood in _ Death Strandin

"I'm always thinking about ideas as I'm working on games," he said. "These aren't major plans, but just fragments of new ideas. I think about these ideas myself, and then I explain them to other people, in order to get opinions about them." Going on, he explained that the illustration in the photo was created by Metal Gear character designer and Death Stranding art director Yoji Shinkawa, who often creates drawings based on his id

Although Death Stranding was likely not quite the commercial and financial success that Kojima was hoping for, the entire company clearly put a lot of time and energy into designing the world and lore of the game. Given all of the hard work it took to craft that intricate complexity, it is not outside the realm of possibility that Kojima Productions may soon return to the world of Death Stranding in a sequel or even a prequel. Death Stranding's movement and controls are unlike almost any other title, and it would be a waste to not explore them furt
