Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding is not an easy game to recommend, or even describe, yet it’s become something of a blockbuster all the same. While its supernatural themes are heady and abstract, its premise follows the loose framing of what could be a big-screen hit — or at least that’s what Kojima is hoping as A24 adapts his pet project into a feature film.
In an interview with Vogue Japan, Kojima revealed his tentative plan for the future of the Death Stranding franchise. A sequel to the 2019 game is set for June, but the developer’s not ready to stop there. “What comes next are different forms of media — movies, anime, TV dramas, etc,” Kojima said. “Basically, expanding the game IP to other media. That’s the second phase. That’s what we’re aiming for next.”
