Death Stranding is an upcoming open world action video game developed by Kojima Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4. It is the first game by game director Hideo Kojima and his company following the 2015 disbandment of Kojima Productions as a subsidiary of Konami and subsequent reformation as an independent studio, and was officially announced at Sony's E3 2016 conference. The game will be released sometime prior to 2019.
The game features actors Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen, as well as director Guillermo del Toro, who are portrayed in-game via motion capture. The game's title is a reference to the cetacean stranding phenomenon.
Death Stranding is an action game set in an open world environment, which also includes multiplayer functions.
After a lengthy corporate conflict with Konami as a restricted subsidiary,Kojima Productions subsequently closed in July 2015, and reformed as an independent video game developer and studio in December. Game director and producer Hideo Kojima announced the game at Sony's conference during the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2016 with a trailer. The trailer was made possible with the technology of photogrammetry and performance capture. It featured American actor Norman Reedus, who will serve as the basis for the main protagonist. This marks the second collaboration between Kojima and Reedus since the cancelled Silent Hills.
