The Game Awards 2022 delivered a moment Kojima Productions fans had been eagerly awaiting. A new title from Hideo Kojima was officially announced, with Death Stranding 2 revealed as the working name for the project. A short teaser trailer already gave fans a first glimpse into what to expect from the next chapter in the saga.
There is a brief note to consider: Death Stranding 2 is the project’s working title and may undergo changes as development progresses.
The teaser centers on Leia Seydoux, holding a BB while attempting to remain hidden from unknown forces. The scene takes a tense turn when a shot hits her bicycle, leading to an accident. The trailer then shifts to an older Sam Bridges, portrayed by Norman Reedus, suggesting that audiences may encounter a new antagonist or a more mature threat in the sequel.
Details about the game remain limited. What is known is that Death Stranding 2 continues to run on the Decima engine, the same foundation used for the original game. So far, PlayStation 5 has been identified as the platform, and there is speculation about a potential temporary exclusive window similar to the first game. Reports also hint at the involvement of Elle Fanning and Shiori Kutsuna, based on prior teasers from Kojima that hinted at their possible roles. The broader picture points to Kojima delivering a cinematic, expansive experience that fans expect from the creator. [citation: VG Times]
