Kojima Productions is throwing everything at Death Stranding right now. There are not only two movie adaptations in the works, one live action and the other animated, but now an original anime series has also been revealed.
Death Stranding Isolations is its working title, and it'll be streaming exclusively on Disney+ when it arrives in 2027.
Hideo Kojima is executive producing the series, and announced the anime at the Disney+ Originals Preview in Hong Kong.
Death Stranding Isolations will tell a totally new story separate from the games, with E&H Production handling the animation.
Other details are thin on the ground, but it seems the series will centre on the two characters in the above artwork.
"Somewhere in North America, just as Sam Bridges walks through the continent in order to save America, the someones are also trying to deal with their isolation in their own way. An old man trying to realize salvation through ways outside of the connection advocated by Bridges. A female warrior who tries to kickstart a world of constant fighting. A boy with a grudge against Bridges. A girl who embraces loneliness. On the precipice of the end of humanity and the world, their fates and hopes converge, as another story of Death Stranding begins."
Again, this is targeting 2027, so we won't be seeing much of this for a while. What are your hopes for Death Stranding Isolations? Tell us in the comments section below.

I can't wait for the episode that's just an hour long deep dive into explaining how it was actually the migratory patterns of Egyptian birds in the late 1920's that caused all of the BTs power levels to go over 9,000!
Kind of surprised by Disney+ being the outlet.
Netflix has game anime series of SplinterCell and TombRaider. Not that I care I have both.
I don’t watch Disney+ that much since I’m just waiting for new StarWars seasons. The new Daredevil season was really good though.
I guess this will give Disney+ something since they lack on depth.
@Splash_Woman Oh man. I finally finished the first Death Stranding two days ago and the credit sequence+exposition dump at the end felt like an hour. I was about to lose it. It was so unnecessarily dragged out. Ended up putting the ps5 in rest mode and let it run the next day.
"Original Character Design: Ilya"
The one who designed characters for GitS SAC_2045? 🤔
Anyway
Feels like a DS manga / comic book is coming too. But only 6 years, Kojima managed to expand DS into a multimedia franchise. I really salute him and his team efforts 🫡
Godjima executive producing the series is such nice news. He always wanted it. Now he can. Good for the man. Even though its still far aways, Im glad itll happen.
@CrispyMango92 Exactly how I felt finishing DS1 lol. I kept thinking it was over and was ready to get on with my day, only to have more cutscenes haha.
@Splash_Woman Needs to be longer than that. Kojima needs to top himself. I’ll never forget the day I was late for work because I beat Metal Gear Solid 4. I genuinely thought waking up 2 hours early would be enough to complete the last chunk of the game. I was wrong.
The character designs are by Ilya Kushinov. I absolutely love his work!
Disney+ executives after hearing the pitch: "You had us at "female warrior"".
Disney+, where good anime goes to die. Zero promo. RIP sand land and the fable.
