Death Stranding is a third-person open world game developed by Kojima Productions and published by 505 Games. Directed and designed by Hideo Kojima as his next work after Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the game features a cast of film and TV actors, including Norman Reedus as the protagonist. Death Stranding is the first Kojima Productions game to be built on the Decima engine created by Guerrilla Games.
Originally released for PlayStation on November 8, 2019 to positive critics reception, and subsequently announced for PC with a release date of June 2, 2020, the date was later moved to be July 14.[1][2] The game is available for Windows and distributed through Epic Games Store and Steam, making use of Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM on both platforms at launch.
