Death Stranding PC Release Delayed to July 14

5
The PC release of Death Stranding, handled by 505 Games and Kojima Productions, has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kojima Productions anounced on April 21 that the PC release of Death Stranding has been delayed. Initialy planed on June 2, Death Stranding will now be available on Steam and Epic Game Store on July 14, 2020. The PC release is handled by 505 Games.

The delay is due to the new coronavirus pandemic, seeing Kojima Productions, like most workplaces around the world, switched to work from home. The delay will allow more time for the developers as the pandemic shuffled their lives around like anyone else. Turns out developers are also human beings.

Multiple other Japanese game studios have switched to work from home, such as Square Enix. In Japan, they call it “Telework”. And it’s likely many more game releases will be delayed. In Japan in particular, the games rating oragnization CERO stopped its activities, meaning any game who didn’t get its rating yet will be delayed.

Death Stranding is currently available on PlayStation 4. The PC version initially had a Photo Mode announced as an exclusive functionability, however, after numerous fan demands, the Photo Mode was added to the PS4 version of the game.

Ninja I personally thought it originally came out Pc only lmao but the game definitely looks intriguing, especially with the capability of chucking in an overhaul or graphics mods.


I'd advise watching some gameplay first. I haven't played the game myself but after watching gameplay and looking at reviews the game does really not look like it's worth it. Trailer is very deceiving.

The Trailer for the game looks good, but coming from the reviews it's not living up to the hype tbh

The trailer made this game look so good but from watching some gameplay and just looking at the reviews it looks like an awful game. Obviously first hand experience might be different but it isn't something I plan on trying.

I haven't heard great things about this game to be fair, heard it's like a hiking/walking simulator. However, with that being said adding a photo mode is pretty cool for those that love to take screenshots.

Adding a Photo Mode for any game is the best feature making your screenshots the best as you can as you can can filters for your screenshots. his pandemic is nuts it's a shame game release are getting falling behind the release date especially this game looks so fun. Thinking to buy this would be a good game to stream.
