After a brief exchange, the player can determine Sarah’s fate although she makes it adamantly clear that she wants to die. Simon can leave her, or the player can pull Sarah’s life support plug. The player can stay around and support Sarah in her final moments. Here Sarah reminiscences on this ‘crazy thing called life’ and shares musings about her past and the people she’s been with. Heartwarming yet painful, the monologue serves to remind us of what’s important, and what do we cherish? And how do we want to live this crazy thing called l

The upcoming game appears to embrace a slightly new setting. Unlike the first game which had Sam outdoors at almost all times, Death Stranding 2 seems to embrace indoor environments much more. Fragile is seen sneaking down corridors and through vents, not unlike Snake in Metal Gear Solid . This is a direction that franchise seems to have been going in since the release of Death Stranding Director's Cut , which also features more indoor environme

The line he utters before shooting this supposedly fatal bullet is pretty legendary and is endlessly quoted by fans to this day. Fallout: New Vegas is a favorite in the series for many fans , and this monologue is one of the many reasons why players can't get enough of this great g

Considered a classic and still regarded as one of the best games ever made , the sinister AI Shodan still sends ripples down the spine of anyone who has played the game. Declaring her intent to enslave and conquer mankind, Shodan’s emotionless poetic flair to undo mankind draws parallels to Oppenheimer’s ‘Now I am become death’ spe

As for the narrative and characters, I’m happy for more needless celebrities to fill the ranks and provide us with a story that makes no sense, but we happily come along for the ride anyway. Some of my casting choices include Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto, Brendan Fraser, and Adam Sandler. Let’s get weird. I’d be more than satisfied with more of the same, but with Kojima we know the end result will be something else entirely. Just look at Metal Gear Solid - across five main entries and several spin-offs not one of them has the same underlying formula. Stealth, the CODEC, and a few other systems remain untouched, but there are always unexpected new ideas front and centre making each game fundamentally distinct.

Part horror game, part philosophical class, Soma truly delves deep into the themes of existence and the human condition that revolve around life, identity, and death. As the protagonist, Simon moves to find the Ark (humanity’s last hope), he chances upon Sarah Lindwall, the last surviving member of mank

Though Sovereign oddly embellishes some details and appears to give away too much context for the ‘mortals’, Sovereign’s authority and kernels of truth about existence within the monologue can’t help but strike a chilling yet resonating chord in play

For example, following Reedus’ comment in an interview with men’s lifestyle site Leo Edit in May 2022, Kojima's humorous tweet addressed Death Stranding 2 by telling Reedus to go to his " private room ," a reference to Death Stranding ’s __ safe rooms. The playfulness of Kojima’s response (which included a photo of himself threatening Reedus with a Negan-esque, wire-wrapped baseball bat à la The Walking Dead ) suggested to some observers that rather than an accidental slip, Reedus’s leak might have been a coordinated effort on the part of the game’s creator. Kojima added fuel to the fire of speculation surrounding Death Stranding 2 at the Tokyo Game Show in September 2022, where a QR code at the Kojima Productions booth linked to a poster containing several Death Stranding symbolic references and a woman’s silhouette overwritten by the words " Who am

Kojima and Reedus are just guys being dudes. Absolute besties sitting five feet apart in the green room because they’re not gay. Their friendship has been a sweet side effect of Death Stranding 2 strategy Stranding, with the duo clearly having a blast creating a project they’re both enamoured with. Deep down it’s all a bunch of melodramatic, nonsensical bullshit, but the creative vision at the game’s core is so unapologetic that it’s no surprise the studio’s debut has been such a success. If I could make a game with all of my celebrity friends I would, so good on Kojima.

Subsequently, on Twitter, Kojima cryptically revealed that " The answer to ‘WHO’ at TGS will be in the next ‘WHERE’. " Internet sleuths quickly determined that the silhouette in the poster belonged to actress Elle Fanning, suggesting she might be one of the actors to appear in a Death Stranding sequel . This was confirmed soon after at the PAX Australia event by Game Awards host Geoff Keighly, who tweeted that Fanning would indeed appear in an upcoming Kojima game. Based on the poster and Kojima’s subsequent remarks, many observers believe this game to be Death Stranding
