Hideo Kojima has finally revealed tantalizing new information regarding his much anticipated project, Death Stranding.

Death Stranding, which was originally unveiled at E3 2016, is the first project that the groundbreaking developer and his independent studio, Kojima Productions, have undertaken since his controversial departure from Konami. The news comes from way of the Sony Press conference where Hideo Kojima revealed some vital story information about the game.

Kojima stated that the mass stranding’s of “Whales and Dolphins” provided inspiration for the narrative of the game. He went on to say that the title “refers to something from another world stranded in our world.” Kojima later went on to state that Death Stranding will be an Open World Action Game that provides the player with a degree of freedom while still allowing the player to “enjoy the story at the same time”.

The biggest news that came from the conference was the reveal that Death Stranding would have “some online elements” and that the connectivity would come from “rope-like elements”. Kojima did flash a picture of Guillermo Del Toro, Kojima, and two others holding each other’s hand and a piece of rope connecting the four of them together. While we are still unsure as to how these elements will tie into the gameplay, it does open the way for innovative gameplay mechanics that Kojima has delivered with previous titles such as Metal Gear Solid, and P.T.

Kojima also announced that an engine had been chosen so production on the game would begin soon. Death Stranding will also support 4K and HDR support which coincides with the reveal of the PlayStation 4 Pro.
