Death Stranding is remembered as a unique experience for some players and confusing for others, highlighted by Hideo Kojima’s storytelling. With the announcement of the second game, an important question is on the agenda for both old players and those who want to join the series: Will those who have not played the first game be able to easily adapt to the second game? Here is the good news that Kojima gave on this subject…
Death Stranding 2 will include a summary of the first game!
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will offer a special ‘story summary’ (recap) feature to players who have not played the first game of the series or do not remember the story completely. This summary, which will be constantly accessible in the main menu, will allow players to quickly review the events of the first game and make a smooth transition to the second game.
The story of the first game was based on Sam Porter Bridges’ attempt to bring people together again in a post-apocalyptic world. However, the detailed narrative and intense plot made it difficult to follow the story, especially for players who were unfamiliar with the series. This ‘story summary’ feature will be very useful for both old players who want to refresh the history and those stepping into the series for the first time.
Kojima takes an important step to open the Death Stranding universe to a wider audience and adds this feature to the game. Those who want to understand the story of the new game will not have to continue with incomplete information and will be able to easily adapt to Death Stranding 2.
