According To Troy Baker, Hideo Kojima's DEATH STRANDING Is Weird As The Scope Of It Is Huge

Death Stranding was announced at E3 2016 and two and a half years later we still have no idea what this title actually is. Director Hideo Kojima revealed that Death Stranding won't feature easy, obvious answers, but it would be really nice to learn what Bridges' (played by Norman Reedus) mission actually is, and more importantly, why babies seem to be the main theme of Death Stranding.

The recent Tokyo Game Show 2018 saw the release of a brand new trailer for Kojima Productions' first game and introduced us to Troy Baker's mysterious character, nicknamed "The Man in The Golden Mask," as he, as the name suggests, wears a golden mask which gives him the ability to summon (?) black goo (?) and then transform it (?) into an enormous black beast (?) that also wears a golden mask.

During the Argentina Game Show 2018, Baker revealed that Death Stranding "is a huge game. The scope of the game is huge. If you know anything about Kojima, he doesn’t do small. It’s weird, and it’s big.” The Uncharted: A Thief's End actor was also deeply impressed by Kojima’s ability to envision the entire project in his head, down to the smallest details. Sadly, Baker doesn't have a clue when the title is coming out, be just like the majority of players, would love to finally check it out on his own.

One thing is certain, as Kojima has managed to assemble an impressive cast, including Guillermo del Toro, Norman Reedus, and Mads Mikkelsen. The E3 2018 trailer confirmed that Léa Seydoux (Spectre, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol) and Lindsay Wagner (Nighthawks, The Bionic Woman) will also have major roles in Death Stranding. Be sure to take a look at the aforementioned interview below:
