Death Stranding finally gets a release date

Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Kojima Productions revealed today that release date for the much awaited Death Stranding for PS4.

After the long wait, Kojima’s PS4 exclusive Death Stranding will be released on November 8.

Here’s a special message from director Hideo Kojima:

People have created “Walls” and become accustomed to living in isolation.

Death Stranding is a completely new type of action game, where the goal of the player is to reconnect isolated cities and a fragmented society. It is created so that all elements, including the story and gameplay, are bound together by the theme of the “Strand” or connection. As Sam Porter Bridges, you will attempt to bridge the divides in society, and in doing create new bonds or “Strands” with other players around the globe. Through your experience playing the game, I hope you’ll come to understand the true importance of forging connections with others.

Now, please enjoy the latest Death Stranding trailer.
