A feature film adaptation of Death Stranding from Kojima Productions and Barbarian’s Hammerstone Studios has been announced. Deadline was first to report.
The announcement comes just one week after veteran game designer Hideo Kojima unveiled a sequel to the divisive title at The Game Awards. Reportedly, the film will “introduce new elements and characters” within the Death Stranding Universe. “I couldn’t be more excited about this new partnership with Hammerstone Studios,” Kojima said. “This is a pivotal moment for the franchise and I’m really looking forward to collaborating with them in bringing Death Stranding to the big screen.”
No casting information or details on the movie’s writer have been announced, but Alex Lebovici of Hammerstone Studios had said “this film will be an authentic Hideo Kojima production,” which likely means much like in the game designer’s blockbuster titles, Kojima will also be involved in the script in some capacity. However, that has not yet been confirmed. The Death Stranding film is currently in development, so future announcements will follow.
