That big flagship single-player PlayStation title that we’ve been waiting for for a while is finally coming not long from now in the form of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and as its release date draws nearer, creative director and Kojima Productions boss Hideo Kojima has offered an update on how development is going.
Spotted by Twitter user @Genki_JPN, speaking recently during the official Kojima Productions podcast, Kojima revealed that Death Stranding 2’s development is roughly at the 95 percent mark. Likening the project to a 24-hour cycle, Kojima went on to say that it is currently at 10 PM, which means it’s within touching distance of the finish line. Of course, given how close to launch the game is, this is what most would have expected (or at least hoped for), but it’s good to have confirmation nonetheless, especially for those who may have been concerned about potential delays.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach launches exclusively for the PS5 on June 26.
