Hideo Kojima has touched base on Death Stranding 2 during the latest episode of the Brain Structure Podcast, where he revealed that the game is able to achieve things that simply weren’t possible three years ago with the original Death Stranding.
This a sequel, so it’s my second time working with Norman and the technology has really improved over the last three years. Things that were impossible before are now possible. So we have been really challenging ourselves. It’s not just a regular sequel in that sense.
I can’t say much yet. I believe a lot of people liked Sam, and I’m hoping those people return to DS2. And in order to appeal to people who didn’t play the first one, I’ve made the game nostalgic, but also new. I can’t say anymore than that right now.
Death Stranding 2 was announced during The Game Awards 2022 and is currently without a release date.
