From legendary game creator Hideo Kojima comes a genre-defying experience, now expanded in this definitive DIRECTOR’S CUT. As Sam Bridges, your mission is to deliver hope to humanity by connecting the last survivors of a decimated America. Can you reunite the shattered world, one step at a time?
Death Stranding is an action game set in an open world with asynchronous online features. Hideo Kojima calls it the first "strand game," integrating social elements. Players control Sam Bridges, a porter for BRIDGES, tasked with delivering cargo to isolated cities and connecting them to the Chiral Network. Performance is evaluated by likes, affecting stats like stability and weight capacity. Music by bands like Silent Poets and Low Roar enhances the game. Players face enemies such as "beached things" (BTs), MULEs (cargo-obsessed bandits), and Demens (MULEs who kill for cargo). BTs are invisible but can be detected using a robotic sensor. Death results in Sam visiting the "Seam," where he can revive himself.
In Death Stranding, freelance courier Sam Porter Bridges is tasked with reconnecting isolated cities and settlements across a post-apocalyptic America. As he travels westward, Sam must deliver crucial supplies, help rebuild society, and face various challenges, including supernatural creatures and rogue porters. Along the way, Sam forms bonds with allies and uncovers the truth about his past and the mysterious events known as the Death Stranding. The game explores themes of connection, loss, and hope, set against a backdrop of desolation and resilience.
Death Stranding is set in an apocalyptic United States, devastated by an event called the "Death Stranding." This event introduced "Beached Things" (BTs), invisible creatures linked to the afterlife, that roam the Earth. BTs, created from the dead through necrosis, cause massive explosions, or "voidouts," when consuming a living human. They also produce "Timefall," a rain that rapidly ages everything it touches. Survivors live in remote colonies known as "Knot Cities," forming the "United Cities of America." These colonies rely on BRIDGES, a company whose porters deliver supplies despite the dangers from BTs, bandits, and terrorists. Porters use "Bridge Babies" (BBs), which allow them to sense BTs, and some individuals with a condition called "DOOMS" can naturally detect or even control BTs. There are also "repatriates," who can return from death but still cause voidouts if killed by a BT.
