Death Stranding Finally Shows Some Game Play

Sony and Koji­ma Pro­duc­tions final­ly showed some game play from Hideo Koji­ma’s Death Strand­ing. This trail­er shows Nor­man Reedus’ char­ac­ter Sam Bridges, the main pro­tag­o­nist mov­ing through dif­fer­ent land­scapes try­ing to sur­vive while car­ing a heavy life pack con­tain­ing a baby encased in a syn­thet­ic womb. It left us with far more ques­tions than answers. Check out the E3 game play trail­er from the Playsta­tion E3 show­case below.

In a blog post on the Playsta­tion Blog, Hideo Koji­ma spoke a lit­tle bit about Death Strand­ing’s pro­tag­o­nist Sam Bridges:

“Some might have already picked up on this, but Sam is unlike any oth­er hero you may have seen in games before. A typ­i­cal hero is usu­al­ly some sort of elite or some­one with a mil­i­tary back­ground. Sam is not. He is a work­ing man of sorts — a hands-on pro­fes­sion­al. Some­one with a skillset akin to a blue-col­lar work­er. This is some­thing you’ll intu­itive­ly under­stand once you play the game and con­trol Sam. Here­in lies our chal­lenge, to cre­ate both a new form of game­play and a hero that has nev­er been done before.” — Hideo Koji­ma
