Death Stranding 2’s developers are preparing for a “grueling and fun climb ahead,” according to game directorHideo Kojima.
Kojima Productions recently held a ‘Death Stranding 2 Assembly’ event at the studio’s office in Tokyo, as revealed by Kojima in the tweet below. Apparently this event united the “entire DS2 staff to rally together before the grueling and fun climb ahead,” which is a long way of saying that it was a morale boost for the work to come in the immediate future.
Because yes, the final stages of game development can very easily last over a year. Think back to whenThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomlaunched last year, for example - series producerEiji Aonuma revealed that he had completed Tears of the Kingdom over 20 timesto prepare for launch and properly test and debug the title to the best possible standard.
This is what’s effectively happening at Kojima Productions right now, if Kojima’s past comments in May are still accurate. In other words, settle in for a long ride, and keep the developers of Death Stranding 2 in your thoughts, because it sounds like they’re working extremely hard right now.
Death Stranding 2’s Norman Reedus says the sequel is more violent than its predecessor: “I feel like this one has a bit more violence in it.”
