Right here, Kojima confirms that he is not going to be directing the film, however followers apprehensive that Kojima Productions’ involvement wouldn’t contain enter from the person at its helm can relaxation straightforward. Along with his position as producer, Kojima shall be “deeply concerned” with many different parts of the movie, together with its plot and general aesthetics. Whereas the film takes place within the present Demise Stranding world, it’s going to “introduce new parts and characters inside the Demise Stranding universe,” in accordance with Deadline.

Given the truth that the manufacturing groups have but to announce any director, author or actor that’s hooked up to the venture (I’m hoping it entails Nicolas Cage), it’s nonetheless just a few years out. In the event you’re dying for extra Kojima earlier than then, you’ll be able to re-watch the Demise Stranding 2 reveal trailer or fantasize in regards to the sport Kojima wants to make in space.
