Hideo Kojima had to rewrite Death Stranding 2 due to the pandemic
Death Stranding 2 was revealed this week, and according to Hideo Kojima himself, the game was rewritten due to the pandemic.
When the first Death Stranding launched in 2019, some thought that the enemies you occasionally faced obsessed with stealing packages from one of the few remaining delivery drivers in a post-apocalyptic America was a bit over the top. Then a pandemic hit in 2020, retroactively making the game an incredibly prescient one. So despite Kojima having had the story written prior to the pandemic, he had to completely change it once he experienced it.
“I had the story written before the pandemic, but after experiencing the pandemic, I rewrote the whole thing from scratch,” Kojima told The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley following the reveal of Death Stranding 2. “I also didn’t want to predict any more future, so I rewrote it.”
Death Stranding 2 Ultimate Trailer Breakdown and Wild Speculations
Hideo Kojima teases Death Stranding 2 at The Game Awards
Death Stranding sequel officially announced for PlayStation 5
This ‘Death Stranding 2’ trailer is just…so much
You’ll want to sit down for this one.
Hey, remember Death Stranding? Yeah, the weird game where Norman Reedus carries around a baby that helps him see evil ghosts. Somewhat shockingly, creator Hideo Kojima made an appearance at The Game Awards to reveal DS2. It appears to be a true sequel to the first game, as the trailer prominently features both Lea Seydoux’s Fragile and Reedus’s Sam Porter Bridges.
Fragile has a regular baby (not one in a tank) and a sweet motorized unicycle. Bridges has grey hair now. There’s a sunny lake that’s hiding a big mechanized tank that looks an awful lot like a Metal Gear. There’s simply too much in this trailer to describe in a couple of paragraphs. You’ll have to see it for yourself.
‘Death Stranding 2’ is Hideo Kojima’s next game
Hideo Kojima’s next project is Death Stranding 2. The reveal trailer for the sequel shows Fragile, played by Léa Seydoux, and Sam, played by Norman Reedus, in a world still infested with lethal BTs. There’s no word on a release date, but according to the trailer’s YouTube description, it’s heading to PlayStation 5.
Kojima took the stage during The Game Awards to introduce Death Stranding 2. Its cast is just as star-studded as the original, featuring Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna and Troy Baker alongside Reedus and Seydoux.
Death Stranding came out in 2019 and it steadily became the industry’s favorite walking simulator (despite the fact that it may have been a better movie than a video game). By the end of 2022, more than 10 million people had played Death Stranding. Its primary gameplay innovation was an online system that allowed players to communicate with each other, even though it was a single-player experience. Death Stranding was the first title out of Kojima Productions, the studio Kojima himself founded after parting ways with his longtime employer, Konami.
Ahead of The Game Awards on December 8th, Kojima tweeted some teases for the show, including an image that seemed to be Fragile from Death Stranding. The tweet included the text, “How come?” and Kojima added, “‘WHO’ ‘WHERE’ ‘HOW’ and now ‘WHY’.”
We now know what Kojima was talking about — not that he asked.
Footage of what appeared to be Kojima’s next project leaked online in early November in the form of a super strange video. It showed a character resembling Mama from Death Stranding traversing creepy corridors with a dark presence at her back, and ended with a title screen reading, “Overdose.” It also included the reflection of a lounging shirtless man recording the footage off-screen, but that’s likely unrelated to any gameplay mechanics. Today at The Game Awards, Kojima said his studio is also working on a second, completely new project with an experimental edge, so there’s still some hope for whatever this was.
