The very first Death Stranding teaser was released two years ago at E3 2016, with the second and third appearing at TGA 2016 and E3 2017. The fact that Hideo Kojima is probably the only person on planet Earth who actually knows what the upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive is all about is still pretty amazing, and even yesterday's presentation at Sony's conference created more questions than clear answers.
One thing is certain, as the producer and creator of the Metal Gear series has managed to assemble an impressive cast, including Guillermo del Toro, Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, and possibly even Diane Kruger (but her involvement in the project is rather debatable). The latest trailer confirmed that Léa Seydoux (Spectre, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol) and Lindsay Wagner (Nighthawks, The Bionic Woman) will also have major roles to play in the story of Death Stranding.
To celebrate yesterday's trailer, Kojima released some new key art from the game. Take a look:
