DEATH STRANDING Actor Troy Baker Appears To Be Teasing A 2019 Release For The Highly-Anticipated Game
Troy Baker, who voices "The Man With The Golden Mask" in Death Stranding, recently took to social media to tease a 2019 release for the highly-anticipated, upcoming game.
Renowned voice-actor Troy Baker recently took to Twitter (@TroyBakerVA) to take part in a current trend: The #TenYearChallenge. The popular hashtag sees participants post a picture of themselves from a decade ago beside a recently taken one. Even Sonic The Hedgehog has taken part.
Baker, being a voice-actor of many popular characters, decided to post pictures of his roles rather than of himself. Ten years ago, that being 2009, Baker played Snow in Final Fantasy XIII and thus that character stands beside the 2019 picture... which is of the mysterious "Man With The Golden Mask" from, Hideo Kojima's highly-anticipated and equally mysterious upcoming game, Death Stranding.
A release date for Death Stranding hasn't been officially announced yet and thus this is evidently a pretty blatant tease on Baker's part. A 2019 release for Death Stranding is all but confirmed at this point, as this is far from the first time it has been suggested.
Just last month, the game's director mentioned 2019 being "the year of the whale" - an animal that has featured prominently in Death Stranding's trailers - and the game's star Norman Reedus stated that he thinks the game will release in early 2019. And in November; a Walmart listing claimed that Death Stranding would release in June.
Death Stranding doesn't currently have a set release date.
