Ah finally, Hideo Kojima’s mysterious new game, Death Stranding will be coming to the PS4 on November 8. In Death Stranding, you will play as Sam Bridges (Norman Reedus) and traverse a ravaged nation to reconnect a fractured society and save mankind from the brink of extinction.
Along with the release date reveal trailer above, Hideo Kojima tweeted a special message:
Death Stranding is a completely new type of action game, where the goal of the player is to reconnect isolated cities and a fragmented society. It is created so that all elements, including the story and gameplay, are bound together by the theme of the “Strand” or connection. As Sam Porter Bridges, you will attempt to bridge the divides in society, and in doing create new bonds or “Strands” with other players around the globe. Through your experience playing the game, I hope you’ll come to understand the true importance of forging connections with others.
Now, please enjoy the latest Death Stranding trailer.
