Death Stranding Sequel: The legendary game designer Hideo Kojima announced at The Game Awards 2022 that his next major project will be the sequel to Death Stranding in 2019. The game’s announcement was made by both Kojima Productions and PlayStation.

Fragile, portrayed by Lea Seydoux, and Sam, played by Norman Reedus, is still struggling to make it through the BT-infested environment in the game’s promotional teaser.

The teaser depicted Fragile and her infant being chased by unknown attackers. Death Stranding’s trailer hasn’t confirmed whether or not Sam Bridges’ BB was a fake. Soon after, an elderly Norman Reedus emerges from what appears to be another of the game’s bunkers.

Kojima remarked in a statement, “After witnessing the epidemic, I just reworked the whole thing from scratch,” while unveiling the game live on stage.

The clip also hints that Death Stranding 2 won’t be the series finale. Development is still ongoing. Finally, you’ll see Troy Baker outfitted in what appears to be humanoid-robotic armor including a mask of Amelie (played by Emily O’Brien).

Kojima has been teasing the program in cryptic tweets for the past few weeks, asking questions like “How come?” and then “‘WHO’ “Were’ “HOW’ and now “WHY’.

Death Stranding was well-received because it provided a novel way to ‘wander’ in a video game. Though many people shared my displeasure with the game’s mechanics, the story was what kept me playing until the very end (and what a finish it was).

Death Stranding 2 First Trailer

Hideo Kojima, the developer of Metal Gear Solid, announced a sequel to his star-studded weird courier game from 2019 at The Game Awards this week.

The protagonist, Fragile, played by Lea Seydoux, is the main focus of the reveal trailer. She is seen being hunted by armed figures as she tries to escape with her infant. Sam Porter Bridges, played by Norman Reedus, makes an appearance as well, though he appears to be much older than usual, or perhaps he has just dyed his hair grey.

A massive ship suddenly appears out of the water, suggesting that the duo’s adventures may take them into the sea.
Another odd sighting involves a BB Pod that appears to be housing a tentacle rather than a baby. So, tell me, what the heck is going on over there?

Kojima took the stage at the event and said he doesn’t want to spill the beans just yet, but instead encourages people to draw their conclusions.

Many people have drawn parallels between the events shown in the 2019 game and those that occurred two years later, so the legendary director revealed on stage that he revised the game’s scenario in 2020 after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I didn’t want to make any more future forecasts, so I revised it,” he laughed. The game features several well-known actors, including Reedus, Seydoux, Elle Fanning (Maleficent, The Great), Shioli Kutsuna (Deadpool 2), and returning voice actor Troy Baker (Dead Space 1).

As of this writing, a sequel to Death Stranding is being developed for the PlayStation 5. As the original game was released for PC and PlayStation, a PC port for the sequel wouldn’t be out of the ordinary. Considering Reedus’s claim that development “just began” in May, we could be waiting a while.
