THE NEXT STEP IN A NEVER-ENDING JOURNEY
WELL, WHERE DO WE BEGIN? Death Stranding is likely to remain an enigma until its release, and even then Hideo Kojima’s latest might take a bit of time to truly figure out. The man himself is promising the game will have an impact on genre conventions just as the original Metal Gear did, itself classed as an action game on release because the stealth, or ‘tactical espionage action’, genre hadn’t even been invented at that point. A huge claim, sure, but one we’re willing to humour for the ex-KojiPro, now KojiPro man – if anyone can do it, Kojima can, right?
We do know a bit more about Death Stranding now, even if the majority of the game is still shrouded in mystery. You will control Sam Bridges – played by Norman Reedus – as he makes his way across a post-apocalyptic world on a journey to ‘reunite the shattered world’. From what we’ve seen of the game so far, that looks like it means a lot of courier work – like an end-of-the-world UPS man, if you will – across desolate landscapes, pushing Bridges up, across and over any obstacle in his way on a long journey to whatever the finish might be.
