"Death Stranding," which is expected to be Hideo Kojima's next masterpiece, is currently in development. According to actor Mads Mikkelsen, the game creator explained "Death Stranding" to him, although he only managed to grasp the concept limitedly.
How Mads Mikkelsen Joined "Death Stranding"
Birth.Movies.Death reported that Mikkelsen joined the "Death Stranding" development team after he saw the first trailer, starring Norman Reedus. He thought that "Death Stranding" was a spectacular project from an actor's standpoint. He loved the emotion, sensuality and approach.
Mikkelsen admitted that he was not very familiar with Kojima as a game creator, as well as the plot of "Death Stranding," even after it was explained to him. Mikkelsen described Kojima as a very brilliant man. He said that he only understood some of the things about "Death Stranding" that the game maker tried to present to him, so he has to see it to have a clearer idea.
He said that Kojima created a completely new game with "Death Stranding." He added that he was fascinated at how Kojima is making new worlds. It is almost like making a film, and he lets them be the directors, in a way. All of Mikkelsen's work in "Death Stranding" will allegedly be motion-capture.
More "Death Stranding" Game Details
GameSpot noted that in the new "Death Stranding" trailer, which was first shown at The Game Awards 2016, Mikkelsen's character will most likely be the main villain in the story. He has some special traits, like tentacles, although Mikkelsen declined to share more details about his role and character.
It was also confirmed at PlayStation Experience 2016 that "Death Stranding" will run on the Decima engine. Director Guillermo del Toro will reportedly be involved in the project in some form, together with Norman Reedus, as the playable character.
"Death Stranding" is an open-world action video game being developed by Kojima Productions and to be published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game will reportedly launch exclusively on PlayStation 4.
There is no official release date yet, but Kojima hinted that it will be any time before 2019. More updates and details on "Death Stranding" are expected soon.
