Kojima Productions announces partnership with A24 for Death Stranding movie

A new year has begun, which, as always, means several developers from across the industry have provided brief updates on what the coming months are going to have in store for them. Hideo Kojima is in that list as well, and in a recent New Year message published on Twitter, he has touched on the upcoming Death Stranding 2 and its development.

Hideo Kojima has said it's going to be a "tough year" for him amid simultaneous production of Death Stranding 2 and OD, as well as other projects.

Industry legend Hideo Kojima provided a New Year update via Twitter on the various projects he's brewing, starting with Death Stranding 2. According to the creator of Metal Gear, the sequel to the 2019 'strand game' needs some ADR done. ADR stands for automated dialogue replacement, a film-making post-production process where some lines are re-recorded to replace those from the original production deemed unsuitable for various reasons, such as improving audio quality or even making changes to the dialogue. Moreover, Kojima said the Japanese voiceover recording for Death Stranding 2 will begin in 2024.

Earlier this year, developer Kojima Productions and publisher 505 Games announced Death Stranding Director’s Cut for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, giving the game a 2023 release window at the time. 2023 is almost over though, and as some may have anticipated, the game has been hit with a delay. A new release date for the game will be announced early next year.

Bloober Team, the studio behind Silent Hill 2 Remake and The Medium, has announced today it has signed a deal with Skybound Entertainment, the company founded by Robert Kirkman and David Alpert.

Hideo Kojima says he was "opposed by everyone" when starting his own company eight years ago.

Hideo Kojima says that when he parted ways with Konami, he was «opposed» by peers, colleagues, and relatives" who told him that going independent would «never work».

The upcoming film adaptation of Norman Reedus Walking Simulator - aka Death Stranding - has signed up arthouse darlings A24.

Film studio A24 has revealed it's partnering with Kojima Productions to bring the live-action movie adaptation of Death Stranding to the big screen. To celebrate, a $40 t-shirt featuring the A24 logo in the style of Death Stranding is available to buy. While undeniably cool, you're essentially paying to promote a business deal. Here it is, from small to 2XL sizing:

Death Stranding is coming to the big screen, thanks to a partnership between indie film studio A24 and game developer Kojima Productions. The announcement comes ahead of the Hideo Kojima-helmed studio's 8th anniversary. The film adaptation will focus on the mysteries surrounding the titular apocalyptic event that brought the nightmarish creatures called BT into the living world, blurring the lines between the dead and the living through a portal. Instead of a direct translation of the divisive 2019 video game, the film will serve as a companion piece that further expands the solitary universe. The world of Death Stranding is also set to return in DS2, a sequel announced at last year's The Game Awards.
