Death Stranding, known for Hideo Kojima’s storytelling, is remembered as a unique experience for some players and a confusing one for others. With the announcement of the second game, an important question arises for both longtime fans and newcomers: Will those who haven’t played the first game be able to adapt easily to the second? Here’s Kojima’s answer to this question…
Death Stranding 2 will include a recap of the first game!
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will offer a ‘story recap’ feature specifically for players who haven’t played the first game or may not fully remember the storyline. This recap, accessible from the main menu, will allow players to quickly review the events of the first game, providing a smooth transition into the sequel.
The story of the first game revolves around Sam Porter Bridges’ efforts to reconnect humanity in a post-apocalyptic world. However, the detailed narrative and complex plot made it challenging for new players to follow. This ‘story recap’ feature will be extremely helpful for both returning players who want a refresher and newcomers diving into the series for the first time.
Kojima is adding this feature to make the Death Stranding universe more accessible to a broader audience. This way, those wanting to understand the new storyline won’t have to proceed with missing information and can easily adapt to Death Stranding 2.
