A lot of Death Stranding gameplay footage will be coming next week, Kojima Productions confirmed.
There will be two gameplay presentations at the Tokyo Game Show 2019, which will be held next week in Japan. The first one will be held on September 12th, and it will be a 50 minute long presentation. The second one will be held on September 14th and it will be 30 minutes long. A third presentation will be held on September 15th and it will feature the game's Japanese voice actors and, likely, very little gameplay. Hideo Kojima himself will be present in all three.

Yesterday, Hideo Kojima confirmed that Death Stranding will feature a Very Easy difficult mode. He confirmed that it has been added due to the presence of famous actors. It will be interesting to see how the difficulty levels influence the game, as we have seen very little action so far.
Recently, Hideo Kojima also talked about linear and open-world approach, noting how he could not go back to linear after creating Metal Gear Solid V.
So in Phantom Pain I started with a kind of experiment by starting linear. And once the world opens, the story fades in one way. Some Hideo Kojima fans were not happy that the story takes a back seat. But this was done very consciously. This time was the biggest challenge and the biggest obstacle: it’s an open world, but at the same time we do not want to reduce the importance of the story, so fans of Hideo Kojima games will not be disappointed.
Death Stranding launches this November on PlayStation 4. We will keep you updated on the game as soon as more come in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
