![]() ![]() ![]() There is always the possibility of Death Stranding 2 being an Xbox exclusive similar to The Outer Worlds 2 and Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, but unlike the latter, a new game in the Death Stranding franchise may not be sufficient for Kojima Productions to find its footing in the Xbox family.Ī new entry in an existing popular franchise or a brand-new IP that's more accessible and appealing to a diverse audience is a tried and tested way to compel gamers to transition to a new platform. With this rumored new Xbox exclusive title, Kojima has the opportunity to craft something unique that should specifically appeal to the Xbox audience. Kojima has delivered some of the finest stealth-shooter experiences in the form of Metal Gear games, most of which are also on Xbox. Xbox has primarily been home to some incredible first-person and third-person shooter games, and the ongoing generation also seems to crown Xbox as the house of western RPGs. With Kojima's next game rumored to be on Xbox, the studio will be catering to a new audience, and as such, should make this game more inclusive structure-wise. ![]() However, Death Stranding had the advantage of shipping to a platform that has been home to Kojima Productions' games since the beginning, and as a result it managed to generate enough revenue to cover the game's development cost and secure funding for the next project. ![]() Death Stranding - in several ways - is a vastly different experience from Kojima's Metal Gear games, and it's no surprise that people who were expecting it to be similar were disappointed.ĭeath Stranding's exclusive nature and not adhering to a broader audience had implications, as the game ended up performing underwhelmingly compared to Sony's first-party games like God of War (2018) and Marvel's Spider-Man. While the core gameplay loop was fun and engaging, many mocked it for being a " walking simulator," thus limiting it from being accessible to a wide array of players. Death Stranding was a fresh, ambitious project from Kojima Productions that stood out for its unique gameplay mechanics and asynchronous multiplayer component. ![]()
