Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has more of a focus on combat than its predecessor - which was primarily interested in being an open-world delivery sim - and director Hideo Kojima says he used the jump from claustrophobic horror nightmare Alien to action-heavy sequel Aliens as a reference.
Speaking in the newest issue of Edge Magazine - on sale now - the famed game director said he pointed his team toward Ridley Scott's classic horror film and James Cameron's very different sequel after writing the first draft script for Death Stranding 2.
