Proving that Hideo Kojima doesn't know the meaning of the word "trailer," we saw a whopping nine new minutes of Death Stranding 2 during PlayStation's State of Play stream. The majority of the trailer is setup for Sam's next journey and weird details we'll be pouring over for months—Mexico, a mobile base of operations, a marionette companion, Troy Baker Joker—but my eyes were glued to all the little looks at gameplay.
If you've played as much Death Stranding 1 as me, a lot will instantly stand out. Did you notice the time-of-day change? All those new guns? The dynamic weather? All have major implications for DS2's evolution of Kojima's strange, contemplative hiking game, and they have me very excited.
