'Death Stranding' trailer, news and updates: Hideo Kojima presents latest trailer with new stars; more details expected at PSX
The Game Awards just concluded, and Hideo Kojima has unveiled an all-new "Death Stranding" video teaser that features new stars who are most likely included in the game story. Meanwhile, more details are expected to be revealed soon in the PlayStation Experience event scheduled for Dec. 3.
"Death Stranding" is an upcoming open-world video game set in a torn dystopian city. It was first announced during the Electronics Entertainment Expo held last June in Sony's conference. Since then, it was revealed that one of the main characters of the game is "The Walking Dead's" Norman Reedus.
On Dec. 1, the developer and creator of the game, Kojima, unveiled the newest trailer of "Death Stranding" in The Game Awards. TGA also hailed Kojima as an Industry Icon.
The video teaser opens with a man awkwardly walking toward a tunnel while stopping everytime a military plane flies over him. The man hesitantly turns around and fans find out that he is Guillermo del Toro, a famed film director who once worked with Kojima in the canceled game "Silent Hills."
Del Toro is tightly holding a strange device that keeps a living infant inside. When he plugs in a cord to the device he is holding, the baby starts to move around.
The trailer pans inside the immensely dark tunnel. Then a few moments after, five soldiers appear from the dark, very much armed. The soldier in the center, who appears to be giving the command, removes his headgear and it turns out that it is no less than the famous actor Mads Mikkelsen from "Hannibal." "Death Stranding's" second official trailer ends with Mikkelsen's famous eerie grin.
Meanwhile, aside from the confirmed actors who will appear in the game, other information like the timeframe of release is still unknown. However, Sony revealed that Kojima and "special guests" will take the stage during the PlayStation Experience event tomorrow, Dec. 3, at 4 p.m. EST at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Sony's PSX schedule reveals that Kojima's panel is particularly for "Death Stranding."
