He expanded on how much time and effort he dedicated to the first project, substantiating that the first project has been such a success that a sequel is the <strong>natural next step<\/strong>. \u2018It took me maybe two or three years to finish all the MoCap sessions and everything. It takes a lot of work. And then the game came out, and it just won all these awards, and it was a huge thing, so we just started part two of that.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is far from an official confirmation, the likes of which would only come from Kojima himself, but it does basically confirm what we\u2019ve suspected for some time now. Death Stranding 2 is inbound. It\u2019s not a surprise that <strong>there\u2019s a sequel in development<\/strong>, given how stellarly the first game performed. Death Stranding, which also starred entertainment industry powerhouses like L\u00e9a Seydoux and Mads Mikkelson, was Kojima\u2019s first release since he left Konami, a move that garnered much attention from the public. The game went on to become a global hit that deservingly received a director\u2019s cut and subsequent PC port.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t know when the Death Stranding sequel will hit the marketplace, but we know it\u2019s likely <strong>still a ways away<\/strong>. If we go back to what Reedus said in his interview with Leo Magazine, he mentioned that it took him two to three years to finish all his work for the first one. That\u2019s not counting all the hours that the rest of the Death Stranding team had to put into development, design, and testing before the game was released. We\u2019re only three years from the initial release now, so it\u2019ll likely still be a while, depending on when development was started. But at least we know we\u2019re getting a sequel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you wait for the new game, why not read our expert review of Kojima Productions\u2019 Death Stranding Director\u2019s Cut?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Death Stranding Director\u2019s Cut Review\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/f_auto,t_article_cover_xl\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Death-Stranding-Directors-Cut-Review.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Death Stranding Director\u2019s Cut Review<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/death-stranding-directors-cut.en.softonic.com\/articles\/death-stranding-directors-cut-review\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">READ MORE<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/death-stranding-directors-cut.en.softonic.com\/articles\/death-stranding-directors-cut-review\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve had suspicions for quite a while now that Hideo Kojima has been working on something new, but there hasn\u2019t been any solid evidence as to what that project might be.
