Death Stranding 2 already seems like it is going to set a new standard for visuals upon release, but Kojima’s statement has made fans even more excited.

The game relies on the Decima engine. Most recently, this engine powered Horizon Forbidden West, a game still considered to be a benchmark for cross-gen PlayStation releases by many.

Therefore, it will be exciting to see what Hideo Kojima can do with this engine on the PS5. He also mentioned that Death Stranding 2 features real-time terrain deformation, leading to roads being affected by earthquakes, forest fires, floods, and other events, enhancing the game’s realism.

The director further disclosed that the State of Play trailer was captured on the PS5 and provided additional details about the game’s storyline, elaborating on a few of the mysteries from the footage.

Additionally, Hideo Kojima mentioned that Sam would have the ability to remove his backpack for enhanced mobility and combat in the sequel.

Death Stranding 2 took center stage during the recent PlayStation Showcase, offering nearly 10 minutes of gameplay footage. The sequel appears to be a significant improvement over its predecessor.

With promising features and the return of famous actors like Norman Reedus, Death Stranding 2 is shaping up to be an outstanding sequel. Along with millions of fans, we are eagerly anticipating another great adventure from the studio.
