DEATH STRANDING ON PC

Kojima Productions' cargo delivery action game Death Stranding is coming to PC this summer. This is exciting, particularly for those Metal Gear Solid fans curious to know what series director Hideo Kojima would do outside of Konami and away from the series that made him famous. The answer, turns out, is a game about reconnecting a post-apocalyptic world with packages and jar babies.

Kojima Productions has announced a few features, including a new photo mode and a "high frame rate". If the Death Stranding PC port is really up to snuff, we should get more graphics options, prettier textures, and a completely unlocked framerate. The game is a stunner (even on a base PS4), so its visual potential on PC is vast.

When it comes to PC, Death Stranding will include the notorious Denuvo anti-tamper software included. Other games have had Denuvo removed after launch when it's inevitably cracked by motivated pirates. That could happen with Death Stranding. Or it may not. What we know for sure is that it will be packed in on June 2nd.

In an interview with Vulture, Kojima said that a theoretical sequel to Death Stranding probably wouldn't be a direct follow-up. If Kojima Productions were to start work on a sequel, it would "start from zero." That could mean a completely different story with a new cast of characters. Though, Kojima said that we would like to work with Norman Reedus again.

It's fun to speculate about what this really means for a sequel, but it sounds like Kojima himself is just as unsure about what form it would take.
