Kojima Productions has announced that Death Stranding has gone gold, a little over one month before its launch for PlayStation 4 on November 8.
Back in August, Hideo Kojima had stated that the Death Stranding team were experiencing the ‘crunch time of dev', but added a rainbow emoji after the fact. This raised alarm that the developers were struggling to balance completing the game with their own health and well-being, and Kojima seemed to be toting it as a badge of honour.
DEATH STRANDING is complete and has gone gold!! Hideo Kojima, the Kojima Productions team, everyone at Sony and Guerrilla, cast members; all put their heart and soul into it. Thanks for your support, we can’t wait to bring you a new “A HIDEO KOJIMA GAME”. Play it on Nov 8th!! pic.twitter.com/Nj73oGG05p

New Death Stranding content was shown at Gamescom Opening Night Live and Tokyo Game Show, assuaging concerns and implying that Kojima’s ‘crunch’ comment was lost in translation. And today, the studio revealed that all is done and dusted for the development of Death Stranding. The tweet read, ‘Hideo Kojima, the Kojima Productions team, everyone at Sony and Guerrilla, cast members; all put their heart and soul into it.’
‘Thanks for your support, we can’t wait to bring you a new “A HIDEO KOJIMA GAME”,’ it stated, with a photo of joyous Kojima Productions staff and Kojima cradling the physical disk. It even has a little handprint slapped on it in blue sharpie. That’s dedication to the brand.
Death Stranding will launch on PlayStation 4 on November 8. There’s a Death Stranding Limited Edition PS4 Pro, with a golden translucent controller that’s meant to match the BB pod. It reminds me of something else, though.
