When is Death Stranding coming out? Everything we know \u2013 Release date, trailers, PS5 and more Kojima ProductionsSony might well have kept their cards held firmly to their chest when it comes to Hideo Kojima\u2019s Death Stranding title, but the long wait for a release date is finally over and it looks like the game will land on PlayStation 4 first. PlayStation revealed the official date that the game is set to launch during a Twitch livestream on May 29, which featured a brand new release date trailer. Despite previous suggestions that fans might have to wait until the next generation PlayStation 5 console to get their hands on the game, the announcement video seems to have somewhat quelled those fears. When is Death Stranding release date? Death Stranding has publicly been in development for nearly three years, with its initial announcement going live at E3 2016, and it was initially speculated to release on March 29, 2019. Thought, it has now been revealed that the release date is, in fact, going to be November 8, 2019. Eagle-eyed fans of the game first spotted that the Taiwanese PlayStation page had mistakingly announced the news early by mistake, before pulling the post down earlier in the day. Now, though, it\u2019s been confirmed. Looks like Death Stranding is about to get announced for a November release. The Last of Us 2 was also planned for fall 2019 but I actually just heard it got bumped to early 2020, possibly February? Either way, wild final year for PS4 https:\/\/t.co\/wh6kimA73b \u2014 Jason Schreier (@jasonschreier) May 29, 2019 Death Stranding: New release date trailer and details Death Stranding marks the first game developed by independent studio Kojima Productions, following Hideo Kojima\u2019s dramatic exodus from former, long-time employer Konami. After Kojima officially announced development of the title ahead of E3 2016, with a slew of trailers and teasers having dropped for the game since, which appeared to feature an open-world experience set in an alien (or possibly post-apocalyptic) world. And now, we have another brand new trailer to take a look at. Not a lot has been given away by the trailers so far, aside from a slew of creepy, semi-translucent enemies \u2013 and a bigger, more dangerous looking beast controlled by an unnamed boss. Much of the gameplay footage appears to deal with Norman Reedus trekking across the terrain, although a device on his shoulder and a creepy, unborn baby \u2013 which was also seen in other videos \u2013 could significantly change up the meta. Will Death Stranding be on PlayStation 5? Sony\u2019s Mark Cerny revealed first details about the the next-gen PlayStation console on April 15, and was even asked specifically about the potential of Death Stranding coming out on the new console. When asked, Cerny apparently smiled a knowing smile, but said nothing. We know the PS5 isn\u2019t coming out in 2019, more likely 2020. That means that Death Stranding is certain to release on PS4 and may get a rerelease with improvements for the PS5 \u2013 that way, players might be encouraged to buy it twice. What is Death Stranding even about? Fans of the upcoming game have precious little information to go on, prompting a plethora of conspiracy theories as to the title\u2019s actual themes and plot. In an interview with IGN in 2017, Kojima admitted that Death Stranding deals with the concept of life and death, hinting at a possible \u2018Groundhog Day\u2019 esque style of gameplay. \u201cOne of the themes of this game is life and death,\u201d Kojima stated. \u201cSo I want people to realize that when they die in the game, that isn\u2019t the end. \u2026At that point, you\u2019re not dead or alive. It\u2019s the equivalent of that screen that says \u2018Continue?\u2019 and a counter ticking down towards zero.\u201d Kojima also discussed the permeating rain that falls throughout the trailers, calling it \u201cTimefall.\u201d Apparently, the rain controls time in a way that affects the main character differently than the rest of the cast \u2013 although he stopped himself before he could \u201cspill the beans.\u201d Since then, he has also claimed that the game does not fit into any genre of game right now, suggesting that it\u2019s an action\/strand game \u2013 based on a tweet from June 5. As I’m getting similar questions so I shall re-post. DS is not a stealth game. Could move subjectively but not a FPS shooting game either. By incorporating with the concept of connection(strand), it’s totally brand new genre called action game\/strand game(social strand system). pic.twitter.com\/1KaQUVH9zL \u2014 HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) June 5, 2019 The developer also noted in a blog post, following the new trailer\u2019s release, that this new \u2018strand\u2019 gaming concept is built on the idea of creating connections, or strands, in the game that bind together both the gameplay and story throughout. How that will play out, though, remains to be seen. Who stars in Death Stranding? Death Stranding features a slew of major Hollywood stars, including The Walking Dead\u2019s Norman Reedus, Polar\u2019s Mads Mikkelsen, and acclaimed director Guillermo Del Toro, among others. Reedus was initially cast for Kojima\u2019s now-cancelled Silent Hill project, and will now play Death Stranding\u2019s main character, Sam. While Mikkelsen\u2019s role is largely unknown, he appears to play a rival to Sam \u2013 although Mikkelsen himself admitted that the game\u2019s characters are \u201cvery dualistic,\u201d with no set \u201cgood guys\u201d or \u201cbad guys.\u201d Death Stranding also features French actress L\u00e9a Seydoux and America\u2019s Lindsay Wagner, each of whom appear to have some integral knowledge of the game\u2019s world. Upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie director Vogt-Roberts has already played Death Stranding ahead of release \u2013 and claims that fans \u201caren\u2019t ready\u201d for the experience.
