There are currently two candidates, Kojima told Eurogamer . "We are getting to a very good point about how we are feeling about the visuals so we are very close to making a decision on the game engine," he said. "And once that is decided, we will be in full production."Death Stranding's E3 teaser trailer was made using one of the two candidates. "For the new game elements I want to try, you always want to make it and then evaluate and iterate—and those we are doing on the other game engine candidate," Kojima added.Kojima also spoke about his partnership with Sony , citing his trust in the publisher as one reason he chose the company. "With Sony, I have a relationship that goes back over 20 years, there is already this connection," he said."When starting a company and trying to create a product, there are so many problems that come up," Kojima added, "and within that I want to focus as much as possible on my creative labors. I want to keep away the noise as much as possible. In that regard, I think I made the right choice."Death Stranding was one of the biggest stories to come out of this year's E3 . Speaking to IGN, Kojima said Death Stranding will be an action game , but also "something new, something different."
