Said during the special PlayStation Presents stage for DS2 at TGS.

Hideo Kojima says that Death Stranding 2 is still planned to release in 2025! He says he will announce the release date at some point next year! #DS2

“It’s an even weirder game than DS1 (laughs). I am making it with the feeling of is there even a game like this” - Hideo Kojima

Lol this guy has some of the funniest quotes.

Cause he is high on his own supply.

Usually backs it up though.

Bugaga jealous he can't show off his zest in this photoshoot?

Literally just finished DS1 the other day. Not sure I enjoyed it...didn't hate it, but found some aspects to be unnecessarily frustrating. But I kept coming back to see where the story went, so there's that. But now that I'm reading up on DS2, I'm thinking "do I play this game or just watch the cutscenes on YouTube?"

The story in Ds1 was interesting enough, but I kinda feel that technology has only allowed Kojima to indulge the worst parts of his storytelling. Especially at the end, it just kept making the same points over and over.

MGS1 is still his best story IMO...a blend of the batsh1t interesting sci-fi stuff while being relatively grounded and tight.

Just let me be a postman in a post apocolypse world Kojima.

 

[Imtjnotu]

theres going to be a walk backwards only mode....calling it

Gamers only asked for mgs4 remaster, and a way forward for the mgs series (mgs6) ever since it’s been focus on mgs3, and “death stranding”.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Fucking loved DS for some odd reason. Bring it.

He can't make a joke about it?

 

[NeverYouMind]

I just wanted to kill stuff with an electric guitar axe...

 

[Doom85]

Ah man, the anticipation grows! Obviously delay it if the game development needs to, but otherwise I hope it comes out as soon as reasonably possible. When that release date hits, I’ll be all:

Is this guy ever not salty precum?

90+ meta coming

Kojima is the king of sequels

 

[angrod14]

I really ended up loving the first one. Put two hundred hours on it. It helped me go through the lockdown times. Didn't understand a damn thing story wise but loved the game.

 

[Shin-Ra]

That’s some damn fine long blonde hair rendering.

It’s probably indicative of nothing but the subtle bouncing of the Trike hopefully hints at more nuanced interaction between vehicles and terrain. In DS1 unless you were riding flat surfaces it felt like you were either floating or bottoming out and scraping through.

Some sort of Jurassic Park/Uncharted 4 winch recovery for wedged-in vehicles would be nice too.

 

[playbignbox]

Hoping this time the game will be fun to play

Classic case of sniffing your own farts.

I don't understand, Kojima has no power over any of that...talk to Konami, you just might get your wish depending on Delta's success.

Is this guy ever not salty precum?

Honestly i think it's partly an act for clicks lol

 

[Codes 208]

Classic case of sniffing your own farts.

To his credit, who out there would have even considered making a game thats basically QWOP gun edition

 

[cash_longfellow]

Meta 91 incoming…game actually a 62.

 

[Rocinante618]

I hope Kojima-san focuses more on gameplay like MGSV rather than "story".

His team has nailed the graphics, nailed the artstyle, probably nailed the characters, definitely nailed the optimization, please just make it more gameplay driven, actually fun gameplay.

Death Stranding was a vanity project, I didn't like it and I didn't hate it either, I guess my enjoyment was like hopeful beating hearts of washed ashore whales and marine life, like death stranding.

 

[Days like these...]

"still planned" vs "on track" for 2025 means it's going to be released in 2026.

BASED. I'd be disappointed if it wasn't weirder than DS1.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

DS had a shit pacing. I hope Mr GodKJima improves in this regard

 

[DeepEnigma]

Honestly i think it's partly an act for clicks lol

Dopamine cringe.

 

[Insanemaelstrom]

As someone who loves death stranding and mgs5, yeah, this guy sniffs his own farts

One might say Alex is...pathetic .

 

[Mibu no ookami]

If Persona 6 drops in 2025, we're in for a really jam packed year.

 

[nemiroff]

Kojima be like

 

[Klosshufvud]

"still planned" vs "on track" for 2025 means it's going to be released in 2026.

KojiPro, if memory serves me right, rarely delay their games. I really hope for a 2025 release because by 2026, dust accumulation may have killed my PS5. If it's out in 2026, I'll just wait for PC release.

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

Weird is fine but please ensure the story isn’t needlessly convoluted and impossible to follow…

 

[Myuni]

I believe, that Kojima is one of the view talents left in the industry, that is still full of passion and drive to make some new, innovative, immersive games.

Tough I really disliked the generic, typical AAA Unger missions in Death Stranding, especially the open world and endless possibilities to master it was superb.
DS is still the one and only true walking-sim out there (usually this term is missused for games where you have to press forward, close your eyes, and get told a boring story ).
The blend of unique walking-mechanics, combined with building a strategic, highly optimized zip line supply network in the mountains and clearing enemy bases, considering the logistics of a proper, timely disposal of all bodies in a nearby crematory was truly captivating.

So, gameplay wise, and in creating an atmospheric, one-of-a-kind gameworld, I consider Death Stranding a masterpiece. DS2 will be too, I hope.
