Death Stranding represents an innovative action game, produced by Kojima Productions, launched in November 2019. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic United States, following a devastating event known as “The Death Stranding,” which led to the fall of civilization and left pockets of isolated communities. Players assume the role of Sam Porter Bridges, portrayed by Norman Reedus, who delivers essential supplies between separated colonies amidst the dangerous terrain, where aggressive creatures like Beached Things (BTs) and MULES lurk. Alongside deliveries, Sam’s main objective is to reestablish contact among fragmented cities to reintegrate them into the Chiral Network, thereby reuniting the United Cities of America (UCA). In December 2023, it was announced that a live-action adaptation is underway. Kojima Productions is partnering with independent film studio A24 for this venture, and Kojima expresses optimism about the upcoming film.
