Kojima's Death Stranding Will Be At TGS 2018

Famed game designer Hideo Kojima has shared little about his new project, Death Stranding, since the game's showing at E3 earlier this summer, but fans may get another look at the enigmatic title soon. Kojima Productions has announced Death Stranding will have a presence at this year's Tokyo Game Show, which is scheduled to kick off in Japan later this month.

According to the official Kojima Productions Twitter account (via Siliconera), the studio will host a Death Stranding stage event during TGS on September 23. No timing details have been announced yet, but the presentation will feature appearances from director Hideo Kojima himself, as well as "several" voice actors from the game. Additional information and guests will be announced at a later date.

Development on Death Stranding began following Kojima's departure from Konami in 2015. The title was first revealed during Sony's E3 2016 press conference, although aside from being an open-world action game, it is still very much shrouded in mystery. It stars a number famous actors, including The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus, Hannibal's Mads Mikkelsen, and Lea Seydoux and Lindsay Wagner, both of whom were revealed during the game's E3 2018 trailer.

The extended trailer also provided fans their first glimpse at Death Stranding's gameplay. In it, Norman Reedus's character can be seen traversing a variety of environments, including rivers, expansive plains, mountainsides, and Martian-like landscapes. Later in the video, he encounters a woman who helps him avoid detection by invisible monsters.

Death Stranding is in development for PS4. A release date for the game has not yet been announced. Despite this, the title is already available for pre-order from a number of retailers. You can learn more in our Death Stranding pre-order guide.
