Hideo Kojima has always pushed the boundaries of video game visuals, but running on Guerrilla Games’ exceptional Decima Engine, the upcoming Death Stranding looks like his most impressive work to date. Alongside today’s release date reveal, platform holder Sony has also showcased a selection of new PlayStation 4 Pro screenshots – and the character models are up there with the very best we’ve ever seen.

For the purists among you, there are also some gameplay images, showing protagonist SAM placing a climbing anchor and also evading some angry enemies in hazmat suits. It’s all mightily impressive stuff, but it looks better in motion, so we recommend checking out the new trailer if you haven’t already. Are you impressed by what you’re seeing here? Sit tight until 8th November in the comments section below.
