The caption for this one is much less necessary than the photograph itself. If you rotate the image 90 levels counter-clockwise and zoom in – as identified over on ResetEra – you’ll discover that the spaceship-looking car factor is branded with a fairly acquainted title: BRIDGES.
Here’s a greater angle, should you’re curious.
There’s additionally an engraving on the aspect of the car that seems to say “Landing Ship,” that means that… is there going to be a Death Stranding game in house?
Tinfoil hats apart, it’s additionally potential that that is simply idea artwork that Kojima and Shinkawa have been messing about with. While one other game set in the identical universe may very well be fairly fascinating, Death Stranding 2 hasn’t been confirmed by a spaceship drawn in pencil (though admittedly it will be fairly bizarre to {photograph} big BB dolls for no obvious motive).
There’s additionally the chance this may very well be DLC – Kojima did tease a weird, mysterious trailer back in February, in spite of everything. Plus he already mentioned he’s thinking about making “the scariest horror game.”
In associated information, Kojima Productions just lately referred to as a report on Kojima’s firing from Konami “categorically false.”
