Death Stranding PS4 PlayStation 4 1

Looks like legendary director Hideo Kojima is about to rip up the rule book yet again, as Norman Reedus has been eulogising Death Stranding on a recent B&H Photography podcast. As reported by Metal Gear Informer, the actor described the PlayStation 4 exclusive as “mind blowing”, and hinted that the project is “ahead of its time”.

“The concept is so mind-blowing, because it’s not like, you know, ‘Kill everybody and win the game,’ it’s a connecting thing,” he said. “It’s like the opposite. And, y'know, it’s so ahead of its time. And there’s elements of social media in it, and the idea is that, y'know, you have so many games... And so many parts of millennial culture, I guess, is being alone in a room. And you lose physical contact with people. This is after that and the re-establishing of that physical contact.”

It’s a cryptic comment from Reedus that doesn’t really give us a whole lot more to go on, but we do already know that Death Stranding will have an online element. Late last year at PlayStation Experience, Kojima also revealed that death will play a big part in the game, as you’re whisked away to an underwater purgatory each time that you eat the dust.
