Death Stranding’s trailer left us absolutely baffled with many questions in mind. Created by the famed ex- Konami stalwart Hideo Kojima, the trailer shows a character played by Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead fame, crawling naked on a beach with a new born by his side as lifeless marine creatures are stacked up on the beach, with strange hand prints circling around. We are not so sure about the game’s details but it will be Kojima’s first game since his departure from Konami, so it definitely seems like something to look forward to.
While everything about the game was being kept under wraps, the enthusiasts were left to nothing but speculations of what could be. Speaking at Sony PlayStation’s pre-Tokyo Game Show keynote presentation recently, Kojima revealed a few things about the game which might help fans construct an idea about it.
Firstly, he explained that the things dripping from the logo is not ink or anything of that sort, but they are actually cords. He further explained the theme of the game which is, we are all connected by strands and hence the title, Death Stranding.
He explained that the game would be an open world, action based one with “a degree of freedom”. He further mentioned that he wishes to give an option to the players to be connected through these strands and /or provide elements which are not present in other multiplayer games. The game will have online elements as well.
He went on to reveal that the game would be available in 4K resolution and support HDR. More details are expected to be revealed at the Tokyo Game Show on 18 September.
