Hideo Kojima says he knows Death Stranding 2’s release date, but “unforeseen circumstances” prevent him from sharing that date further.
“I haven’t said the release date today, but the release date has already been decided, and I’m currently working on it in preparation for that,” Kojima said, as reported by VGC.
Talking at Tokyo Game Show, Kojima said that while he and his team were working “in preparation” for the release date, he could not confirm it until “some point next year”.
Kojima did not expand on what those unforeseen circumstances were, or when we’ll likely get confirmation of the release date, but he did unveil a further 20-minute gameplay demo of Death Stranding 2, which you can see above.
