As the release of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach approaches, Hideo Kojima revealed that the project nearly faced cancellation due to severe challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic affected the development process significantly, as the studio struggled with remote coordination. Concurrently, Kojima faced personal health issues that led him to question his future in game development. Despite these struggles, the experience ignited a newfound determination in Kojima to finish the game, referring to its completion as a 'mission'. Death Stranding 2 is set to launch on June 26 for PS5, with preorders providing early access.
I had all the cast decided, but during the pandemic, I thought I couldn't pull it off.
Staff were all remote... I became sick as well, I thought it was the end of the world. I've been creating games throughout my years, but Death Stranding 2 was the most difficult challenge yet.
Completing development became a mission for Kojima, more than simply doing his job.
Death Stranding 2 launches on June 26 for PS5; preordering the game grants two days of early access.
