The actor behind Death Stranding's protagonist, Norman Reedus, has revealed when he thinks the game will be releasing.
During a recent interview on Dan Fogler's Podcast, Reedus stated that he believes Death Stranding will release at some point near the beginning of 2019. "I think it’s gonna be early this coming year, I have three more [mocap] sessions here in New York starting next week." With mocap wrapping up soon, an early 2019 release date would be plausible.
Reedus also attempted to provide a description of the game to Fogler - check that out below:
It’s not the kinda game where you kill everybody in the room. It’s a game of bringing people together. How you play it, is you’re building bridges from here to there, and other people are doing the same, and you connect, and the character that I play is, he’s got this phobia of being touched, and as you play the game the phobia leaves you. It’s complicated but once you’re in it, it doesn’t seem as complicated.
It’s constantly surprising you with decisions left and right, and what comes at you, and it’s a real brave game. It’s visually stunning, and the story behind it, it’s a whole ‘nother level, y’know. It’s not Pac-Man, it’s not simple, but the philosophy behind it is one that everybody can get.
What do you think about Reedus' statements? Are you looking forward to Death Stranding?
Death Stranding doesn't currently have a set release date.
