New Death Stranding Trailer Reveals Release Date

New Game Today:

Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Developer: Kojima Productions
Release: TBA
Rating: Rating Pending
Platform: PlayStation 4

We've been eagerly awaiting more information and gameplay details about Kojima's Death Stranding, and thanks to a Twitch reveal, we finally have some answers.

Earlier today, a Death Stranding trailer was looping on PlayStation's Twitch channel, but much of the action was obscured by black hands that spread across the video. The more people watched, the more hands appeared, adding to the frustration and intrigue. The video has over 22 million views, and at one point more than 100,000 people were watching at the same time.

All the hands have now finally disappeared and the trailer has been published in its entirety on YouTube. In it, we see protagonist Sam Bridges (played by Norman Reedus) exploring beautiful environments like rocky plains near a river, a reddish, rocky terrain similar to Mars, derelict buildings that are reduced to debris, and more. Throughout his journey, he's got large crates strapped to his back and wears a protective suit as if he's transporting something important and potentially dangerous.

We see the return of a golden-masked villain (played by Troy Baker), who we have seen introduced in a previous trailer, and an invisible monster who leaves muddy handprints in the ground. Several new characters are introduced as well, including a woman dressed in black played by Léa Seydoux. By the end of the trailer, a slew of names appear showing off part of the main cast which includes the aforementioned Norman Reedus and Troy Baker as well as Mads Mikkelsen, Margaret Qualley, Tommie Earl Jenkins, and Lindsay Wagner. 

Sam rides a motorcycle during a portion of the video, but we don't know yet if that's controllable by the player or cinematic-only. As for gameplay, we see gunplay with an assault rifle, climbing tools being equipped and used like ropes and ladders, and more.
