Kojima Has ‘Written The Concept’ For Death Stranding 3, But He Won’t Be Making It

by

Ever since Death Stranding 2: On The Beach hit the shelves about two months ago, Hideo Kojima has been delivering another mind-blowing cinematic masterpiece that’s left gamers worldwide in awe. In the whirlwind of its release, he’s been tirelessly promoting every aspect of the game on social media and at the global tour events designed to bring it into the spotlight. As a gamer, I can’t wait to dive back in and experience more of this groundbreaking adventure!

It’s been a topic of discussion among fans where the Death Stranding series might head next, considering the substantial gap between releases – the first game came out in 2019, with six years passing before a second one was released. However, it seems that Hideo Kojima, the creator behind the series, may not be directly involved in making Death Stranding 3 as he has penned down an idea but expects someone else to develop it.

Will Hideo Kojima Make Another Death Stranding Game?

As a dedicated gamer, I can confidently say that the Death Stranding series is like no other. It’s a unique blend of intense emotions, thrilling action sequences, and a dash of the utterly bizarre. To the casual observer, it might seem like a simple game about walking or delivering packages. But for those who have dived deep into its world, Death Stranding is far from ordinary – it’s extraordinary, turbulent, and thought-provoking, challenging our minds in ways that few games manage to do.

That’s a touch of the sentiments handed down by fans over the last two months, anyway.

During a visit on ‘The World Strand Tour’, Hideo Kojima and his colleagues paused in Saudi Arabia to boost Death Stranding 2: On The Beach. In an interview portion, the host queried the audience, “Is there anyone here eager for Death Stranding 3?

That prompted a telling response from Kojima:

Currently, I’m not intending to move forward with that project, as the conclusion of Death Stranding 1 and 2 served as a satisfying ending for me. However, I’ve already developed an idea for Death Stranding 3, which I’ve stored in my records.

I hope that someone will create it for me.

As a die-hard fan, I’ve been eagerly awaiting Kojima’s next venture, and that’s none other than Death Stranding 2! He’s been transparent about the challenges, and COVID-19 undeniably has thrown a significant wrench into the gears of production – something he’s talked about often in the past.

In June, Hideo Kojima openly discussed his health and the future of his company, Kojima Productions, emphasizing that if his team attempts to directly mimic his work after he’s gone, the company could face failure. Over the past few years, Kojima has been underscoring the delicate nature of life, which has added a touch of relatability and endearment to his persona, regardless of the outcome.
