New Look At Kojima’s Death Stranding PS4 Game At Gamescom 2019

More information surrounding Death Stranding has just been announced during Gamescom. Kojima made an appearance during the Opening Night Live broadcast to premiere an “exclusive new look” of his upcoming PS4 game.

The Death Stranding footage began with a new trailer of “Mama,” who’s played Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actress Margaret Qualley. We see her cradling an invisible baby, who she refers to as her daughter.

Even as Death Stranding’s release date draws closer, the overarching plotline of the game remains fairly unknown. Even Kojima’s explanation for his latest game makes little sense, the developer remaining coy about giving away any specifics. “You’re alone playing as Sam; you’re trying to connect city to city,” Kojima said at an SDCC 2019 panel. “I can’t speak much but everyone will be playing around the world and we’ll have indirect connections. I’m an otaku and I felt like my teachers and family didn’t understand me. I came to SDCC 10 years ago and met a lot of people like me, so I think that’s what you’ll get from this game.”

Death Stranding features a star-studded cast of Hollywood actors. Main character Sam is both voiced and mo-capped by Norman Reedus, while James Bond actress Lea Seydoux is Fragile, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actress Margaret Qualley is Mama, The Last of Us actor Troy Baker portrays Higgs, The Bionic Woman actress Lindsay Wagner plays Amelie, and Guillermo del Toro is Deadman.

Scheduled for a November 8 launch date on PS4, Death Stranding may come to PS5 as well, but that hasn’t been confirmed. Pre-orders are now live–including a $200 collector’s edition.
