- Fans are eagerly waiting for more news about the sequel to Death Stranding at Tokyo Game Show.
- With Kojima's presentation being extended by 30 minutes, fans are hoping for more details about the game's new narrative and potential gameplay mechanics.
- With protagonist Sam Porter's story taking an unexpected turn in the original, fans are hoping that Kojima does not play coy with them this time around.
A new special event for Hideo Kojima’s highly anticipated sequel to his 2019 hit Death Stranding has fans of his work very excited to learn more about the new game. While Kojima is known to be quite secretive about upcoming projects, expanding the presentation for Death Stranding 2: On The Beach to 90 minutes is widely being seen as a move that could lead to more details about the game being announced.
The original Death Stranding featured excellent visuals and a compelling premise backed up by a star-studded cast that brought protagonist Sam Bridges to life, as he sought to rebuild communications across an American landscape decimated by a cataclysmic event.
Death Stranding 2 Explores New Frontiers With Familiar Faces
With several of the original game’s cast members set to return to the sequel, players are eager to find out more about Sam’s new life away from the BRIDGES corporation after the action-packed events of the first game, which balanced poignant revelations with unforeseen twists in a style that Kojima’s fans have come to expect from the legendary director.
That’s because his work has often been seen as revelatory, with new details from his older games cropping up years after their release. Death Stranding’s overwhelmingly positive response has many players eagerly waiting for details about the sequel in the wake of a trailer that raised more questions than it answered.
Anticipation Builds for Tokyo Game Show and Kojima’s Potential Revelations
Although Kojima seems to have mastered the art of misdirection as far as revealing details about his projects is concerned, fans of Death Stranding are hoping that he chooses a more straightforward path this time around, a sentiment fuelled by his choice to expand on the original time slot of the sequel’s presentation.
Responses to the below post from popular gaming personality Geoff Keighley showcase how Kojima’s fans are excited about Sam’s new adventure in a story that sees him free of the influences of the past and charting a course into an uncertain future.
One player points to the timing and duration of the upcoming presentation being enough of an exception to warrant excitement about what could potentially be revealed about Death Stranding 2: On The Beach.
However, many fans of the original game are hoping for a more elaborate gameplay loop this time around, considering that Sam’s new life is not driven by his occupation of ferrying valuable cargo between important points on America’s devastated landscapes.
Other fans believe that Kojima is going to be up to his usual tricks with the extra time being used to reveal details that could only serve to increase speculation about what is likely to make the final cut when the new title releases for the PlayStation 5 in 2025.
Fans of Kojima’s work will certainly hope to learn more about Death Stranding 2 and perhaps see how the legendary director has chosen to address complaints about the original title to make it a meaningful improvement over what made Death Stranding among the best-selling PlayStation titles when it released.
