In comparing Guerrilla Games' "Horizon: Zero Dawn" which the Japanese game designer complimented for its "fantastic artistic vision," he revealed that he is looking to use a "very photorealistic style" for "Death Stranding."
Meanwhile, Kojima may have remained silent about the storyline for "Death Stranding, however, Guerrilla Games' managing director Mulst unveiled some of the game's secrets. In an interview with the same news outlet, one of the details he shared revealed the meaning behind the black strands or ropes that appeared in the game's trailers.
