Hideo Kojima provided fans with an exciting preview of Death Stranding 2 during a special event at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday night. The presentation featured live gameplay demonstrations and compelling teasers, which can be seen below, offering a glimpse into the highly anticipated sequel.
Kojima said that the loss of personal connection due to the Coronavirus pandemic helped shape the story of Death Stranding 2.
“We had we had this connection over digital during the pandemic, which was great, but it moved too much to digital, and we forgot about analog connection, to meet in person,” he said. “So I already had the DS2 idea, but I had to scratch that off, because I experienced the pandemic. So I rewrote because it’s a new connection after the pandemic…I wanted to everyone to experience that.”
The official synopsis of Death Stranding 2 reads: “Embark on an inspiring mission of human connection beyond the UCA. Sam—with companions by his side—sets out on a new journey to save humanity from extinction. Join them as they traverse a world beset by otherworldly enemies, obstacles and a haunting question: should we have connected? Step by step, legendary game creator Hideo Kojima changes the world once again.”
The game will be released on June 26th. Stay tuned to Horror News Network for more on Death Stranding 2.
