It has been almost three years since the announcement ofDeath Stranding, and Hideo Kojima’s forthcoming title still remains shrouded in a great deal of mystery. Indeed, interested fans have been treated to a number ofDeath Strandingtrailers, but very little about what the game actually is can be gleaned from this promotional material. This trend of cryptic marketing continues today, as the legendaryMetal Gear Solidcreator has just shared a newDeath Strandingteaser through his Twitter account.
Those that watch this 30-secondDeath Strandingteaser trailer will encounter a dark image of what appears to be rippling water. In the center of this image, a hand print has been cutout, providing a view of a secondary image. Specifically, viewers will get a glimpse of Norman Reedus, the actor behind theDeath Strandingprotagonist, and they will also see pieces of materials and equipment that will be familiar to those that have been following theDeath Strandingdevelopment.
Atop this obscured imagery is yet another enigmatic offering, this one coming in text form. “Create the rope,” it reads simply, but the meaning of this is statement is definitely not simple. Certainly, ropes are formed from strands, and this may be a sort of roundabout reference to the “Stranding” of the game’s title. Additionally, Kojima has perviously indicated that"connecting" is part ofDeath Stranding, with players being “connected together,” and perhaps rope will be the tool for this connection.
Whatever the case may be, the newDeath Strandingteaser is very likely to succeed in continuing the confusion around the title, as it does not illuminate any new information about the specifics of the game. While some fans may be enjoying this puzzling build to theDeath Strandingrelease date, which is still unknown, others may wish to start seeing some extensiveDeath Strandinggameplay footage at this point.
Fortunately, there is indication that anewDeath Strandingtrailer is forthcoming, and this may finally be a chance for fans to get a serious look atDeath Strandinggameplay. However, when exactly thatDeath Strandingtrailer will arrive, and what its contents will be, is currently unknown.
