A Completely New Death Stranding 2
"Death Stranding 2" has been completely reimagined, according to Hideo Kojima, the renowned director and creator of Metal Gear Solid. The sequel to the open-world game seems to be surprising many players with fresh ideas and unexpected twists. The release date is still up in the air, but we can't wait to dive into this new adventure.
A New Meaning to the Term "Stranding"
In "Death Stranding," the first installment of the series, you play as Sam Porter Bridges (portrayed by Norman Reedus from The Walking Dead). Your mission is to reconnect a post-apocalyptic America. However, Kojima announces that "Death Stranding 2" will interpret this idea of "connection" in a completely new way.
Revision in the Face of the Corona Pandemic
According to Kojima, the story of "Death Stranding 2" was heavily influenced and rewritten by the experiences during the coronavirus pandemic. He even goes so far as to say that the game was completely finished before the outbreak of the pandemic, but due to the global impact of the virus, he had to rethink everything. The focus of his considerations was primarily on the significance of "pseudo-connections" enabled by technologies such as remote work.
The Film Adaptation of Death Stranding
But it's not just the game itself that promises to be exciting - a film adaptation is also in the works. And here too, Kojima wants to create something very special and promises a surprise for the fans.
Other Projects by Hideo Kojima
In addition to "Death Stranding 2", Kojima is also working on a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 as well as a re-release of the original trilogy in the form of the MGS Master Collection. So there's plenty of excitement surrounding the creative mind behind these projects.
Conclusion: With "Death Stranding 2", we can expect a game that not only continues its predecessor, but also reinterprets it and addresses current issues of our time. We are excited to see what Kojima has in store for us and look forward to the release of the game!
