Death Stranding is “Not a Stealth Game” According to Hideo Kojima

After years of waiting, Death Stranding is set to release this November 8th. With information still limited Hideo Kojima decided to shed some light on the game. Such as its genre and what players can expect.

As I'm getting similar questions so I shall re-post. DS is not a stealth game. Could move subjectively but not a FPS shooting game either. By incorporating with the concept of connection(strand), it's totally brand new genre called action game/strand game(social strand system). pic.twitter.com/1KaQUVH9zL

Kojima explained that Death Stranding is not a "stealth" game and not a "shooter" either. Instead, Kojima emphasizes that its a "brand new genre" that combines action and "strand". Making it a unique social strand system.

This statement does echo what Kojima has stated in the past, with Death Stranding blurring the lines of traditional game genres. We'll have to see when the game goes public to see if Kojima is right about this new genre of video games.

Death Stranding will be coming exclusively to PS4 on November 8, 2019.
