Hideo Kojima’s upcoming game, Death Stranding, sure has created a ton of hype and lead to a fair amount of head scratching among gamers. It’s also becoming one of the most awaited games for many people, including me. Death Stranding is being developed exclusively for the Playstation 4, with excellent support from Sony powering Kojima Productions. One of the things that’s worrying though is that the game actually might not hit a release date anytime soon, so much so that it might possibly end up being a Playstation 5 game.
The thing about Kojima is that he takes time with the games he makes, with development periods averaging 4-6 years. The studio has only been formed a year ago when Kojima was still out and about deciding the engine he wanted to make the game on. He finally decided to do with Decima engine, the same one that powers Horizon: Zero Dawn. Kojima has said during PSX 2017 that the game is under development and coming along just fine, and that the trailer shown at The Game Awards is actually playable.
It’s still clearly in very early stages, given the fact that the recent SAG-AFTRA strike just got over, which has now freed up voice actors. The delay because of the strike, and Kojima’s ambitious vision for the game is sure to delay the game by a significant amount. There’s also a good chance that Sony will want to build up a lot of hype with this game and use it to push the Playstation 5 when it’s finally revealed.
Either ways, don’t expect to see Death Stranding anytime soon, probably not before 2020.
