Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima's surreal package delivery title that first launched as a PlayStation exclusive in 2019 and later ported to PC, has a new release date on Apple devices. The Director's Cut version of the game is arriving January 30 on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with pre-orders currently open, 505 Games announced Tuesday. The studio, which was also responsible for the PC port, will bring the Kojima Productions' title to compatible apple devices. These include the A17 Pro-powered iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad and macOS devices running on M1 chip or later. Death Standing was first announced for Apple platforms at the company's WWDC event in June last year, where Kojima showed off Mac gameplay and promised support for future titles.
Hideo Kojima Talks Going Against “the Current of the Times,” Says OD is “as Different” as Boktai

When it first leaked as Overdose, it was believed that Kojima Productions’ new IP would be a horror title, albeit one with director Hideo Kojima’s signature twists (and potentially related to Death Stranding). However, upon its reveal as OD, it’s looking to be a lot more complicated than initially believed. The developer trademarked terms like Social Scream System and Social Stealth, and it’s confirmed to utilize Xbox’s cloud-native technology.
The jury is still out on how OD plays. However, Kojima provided insight into how it goes against the grain of current trends. He tweeted, “It seems I have been acknowledged by creating games that go against the current of the times, such as ‘hide-and-seek’ games where you sneak into a building without being detected by the enemy, or ‘delivery games’ where you enjoy moving around in an open world.
“For me, the most experimental game was ‘defeating vampires outside your house’ using actual sunlight around you. It was met with fierce opposition from the staff and even within the company. In that sense, ‘OD‘ is just as different.” The title referred to is Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand for the Game Boy Advance, which utilized a unique sensor for sunlight. It was a core mechanic for fighting, to the extent that players would be disadvantaged at night.
While Kojima isn’t saying that OD will play the same, it could be as unorthodox and unconventional, if not more so. Time will tell, so stay tuned for more details, hopefully in the coming months.
