It's that time of year again: E3 2017 is just on the horizon. From June 10-15, we'll be covering the biggest games and hardware announcements of 2017 and beyond. While you can check out our continually-updated Games of E3 List, we're now going to start diving deeper.
Every day leading up to the show, we'll be highlight the stuff we want to see and play at E3 2017. Today's game: Death Stranding.
The last time we actually saw Death Stranding was at the PlayStation Experience back in December. Kojima played an alternate version of the trailer starring Guillermo del Toro and Mads Mikkelsen, which we originally saw at The Game Awards a few days before that. The new version contained a vocal track by Low Roar, the band who did the song in the first Death Stranding teaser. Kojima implied the lyrics of the song were significant to the trailer.
In an interview with Geoff Keighley, Kojima also unveiled the Decima engine, which his studio Kojima Productions has been developing for Death Stranding alongside Guerrilla Games.
Death Stranding is Kojima’s first project post-Konami and also the first game he’s directed outside of the Metal Gear Solid series in a very long time, so we’re really looking forward to seeing what he does with these new freedoms. Kojima has never really let us down in the past when it comes to creating fantastic action games full of depth and imagination. Seeing Death Stranding unfold as a concept is an exciting one even in its earliest stages.
We don’t know a whole lot about what it's actually about, but from what we’ve seen we can assume it’s going to be weird, it’s going to be original, and it's probably going to have some interesting things to say about war, which is Kojima at his best — not to mention all the incredible talent behind it.
Whether or not we’ll see Death Stranding at E3 is really up in the air. Death Stranding debuted at last year’s E3 and it’s being published by Sony, but it’s in such an early stage of development that it’s hard to say what more they could show. There have been a few casting rumors floating around, so a teaser introducing some additional characters is a possibility.
What we really want to see is Death Stranding gameplay, which is even less likely. But we'd love to be proven wrong on that one!
