Expected by all fans of Hideo Kojima, Death Stranding should completely upset the message of the license. And it’s Kojima himself who talks about it.

A license like no other

This was one of the big surprises at last year’s Game Awards: Death Stranding 2 is well and truly under construction and should soon be exclusively on Playstation 5. Love or hate Hideo Kojima, we have to admit that the director is at work on some of the best video games of all time, including the famous Metal Gear Solid license.

First title from Kojima Productions, Death Strandinghas, like its predecessors, had its small effect when it was released in 2019. A true video game UFO, this first opus embarked us on a poetic adventure, on the border between the world of the dead and the living. After this first success, its direct sequel already bears an important legacy and will have to do as well, if not better, than its elder. But Hideo Kojima could once again surprise us.

A whole other meaning

During a joint interview with the artist Nocchi granted to the Japanese media natalie, Hideo Kojima returned in detail to the Death Stranding 2 project and in particular to the message he wanted to convey with this license. Death Stranding emphasizes the connection between people and the power of communication. But after the COVID-19 pandemic, the designer realized he wanted to express something else.

(Post-pandemic) pseudo-remote and other logins have become more important. But on the other hand, I understood that this pseudo-connection alone was not enough to satisfy this need for human achievement. I thought humans needed to get out into the outside world and get moving.

In fact, Death Stranding 2 should carry another message, which will, as Hideo Kojima explains, bring another meaning to the word “strand”.

Isolation and separation are growing, and the world is changing drastically. While it’s impossible to return to the world as it was before, the meaning of “strand” will change (in Death Stranding 2) as we revisit the definition of “connectedness”. (…) At the very end of the teaser (of Death Stranding 2), the message “should we have connected?” appears and this is the message we want to convey with DS2.

Obviously, Hideo Kojima remains intentionally vague on the background of Death Stranding 2. Impossible to predict the exact story of this new title, but it is certain that Sam’s past actions will have a total impact on the environment of this sequel. For the moment, Death Stranding 2 is scheduled at an undetermined date, exclusively on PS5. We will therefore have to be patient before we can discover what Kojima and his team have in store for us with this new opus.
