Few video games have ever launched with the hype and anticipation that preceded Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding in 2019. Now six years later the game’s followup, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, is ready to hit stores. It arrives on June 26. But it turns out fans of the franchise have another reason to be excited this month. Not long after the announcement of a live-action adaptation starring the game’s cast comes news of yet another featured film. Raised by Wolves‘ Aaron Guzikowski is writing a screenplay for an animated movie set in the world of Death Stranding.
Kojima Productions and animation studio Line Mileage have announced (in news we first heard at Deadline) they’re partnering on an adult animated Death Stranding movie. Rather than directly adapt any storyline from the video games, the feature film will tell an original tale.
No director is attached to the film yet. Guzikowski’s other notable screenwriting credits include 2013’s Prisoners and the 2017 Papillon remake. “I love the world of Death Stranding, it’s so creatively freeing, so beautifully dark and yet hopeful; I’m so excited and honored that Hideo Kojima, whose work I’ve long admired, has invited me to dwell within his creation, to birth new stories into this fertile, mind-bending universe,” said Guzikowski in a statement.
For a video game that features multi-layered storytelling and gameplay that some found confusing and/or slow, Death Stranding might not seem like the most obvious choice for a single featured film adaptation let alone two. But Kojima’s open world adventure offers plenty of opportunities to tell original stories. There’s a lot to mine from a supernatural place where a series of mysterious explosions connected the living and dead.
And if these first two films capture what fans love about the video game they won’t be the last two.
