14 DAY TRIAL // Death Stranding, the first solo project of the mastermind behind the Metal Gear Solid series, Hideo Kojima, is coming to PC, the developer announced today. The announcement comes just weeks ahead of the PlayStation 4 release scheduled for November 8. We can't say this is a total surprise considering the number of reports claiming Death Stranding isn't a PS4-exclusive and that it will eventually make its way to PC.
Kojima's Death Stranding is the second triple-A game that will be launched on PC one year after its debut on the PlayStation 4. Rockstar Games confirmed earlier this month that its smash hit Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on the PC on November 5, just three days ahead of Death Stranding debut on PS4.
Naturally, the PlayStation 4 version will be published by Sony, while 505 Games will be the publisher of the PC version the company revealed today.
“We are extremely excited and honored to be working with the supremely talented team at Kojima Productions and to bring Death Stranding to PC gamers around the world. Death Stranding will take gamers through a completely original experience that will delight PC gamers everywhere,” said 505 Games co-founder and CEO Raffi Galante.
Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding features an impressive cast, which includes Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead), Mads Mikkelsen (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and Léa Seydoux (Spectre). Additional appearances include director Guillermo del Toro, comedian and television host Conan O'Brien, and games personality Geoff Keighley.
Death Stranding tells the story of Sam Porter (Norman Reedus), who must travel across a ravaged wasteland and save what's left of humanity from impending annihilation after mysterious explosions set off a series of supernatural events and dangerous creatures from another world begin to hunt down the population.
No additional details about the PC release have been unveiled, but 505 Games promised to offer more info soon.
