Shortly after Google announced it was shutting down Google Stadia’s servers, a report emerged that said Google vice president Phil Harrison canceled a Death Stranding sequel that Hideo Kojima wanted to make exclusively for Google’s cloud platform. However, in a recent episode of Kojima’s Brain Structure (first spotted by IGN), the Metal Gear creator told The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley that a Google Stadia Death Stranding sequel never existed, even in concept form.
“The rumor that Death Stranding, moreover a sequel, was in the works to be an exclusive title for Google is unfounded, and Phil Harrison ultimately rejecting that is quite impossible,” Kojima said. “I’ve never once said anything to Phil about wanting to create a Death Stranding sequel. I don’t know who pulled this information from where.”
