The Japanese creative shares on Twitter the first sketches of the mechanics of his video games, just when he started working on the next one.
Hideo Kojima and his studio, Kojima Productions, have just published Death Stranding, a title that went on sale last November 8 on PlayStation 4 and has already won some awards. Since its official announcement at E3 2016, three long years have passed, but there was a time when the mechanics of the video game were contained in a single conceptual document. It was Hideo Kojima himself who shared those images through his official Twitter account.
According to the papers, the conceptual mechanics of Death Stranding were divided into three main points:
- Make your way: trust only yourself and cross the wilderness.
- Follow old footprints: players who pass along the roads leave tracks. You can use them to find the way.
- Those tracks become a road with time: the routes traveled by multiple users in the end become a road. Once the passage is clean, it is easier to travel by car.

A concept not very different at the end
The second image shows several characters in the hand. A small description is included that is not too far from what we have finally seen in the video game. According to the caption, Sam Porter Bridges crosses the United States from east to west with the intention of reconnecting an isolated world. "Armed with sticks, you defeat those who oppose you, but the roads, bridges and buildings that you build along the way, like vehicles, can be shared with other players."
Death Stranding is on sale right now. Although the official discounted price is 49.99 euros, it is also possible to find it at 39.99 euros in physical format. On the other hand, Hideo Kojima is currently working on his new production, of which nothing is known. The creative Japanese has begun to outline the initial concepts of the game. A sequel? Anything completely new? The future will tell.
