Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding has been in the works for quite some time, but no one still has any idea on what the game really is about. Recently, voice-actor Troy Baker spoke about the game and how it was working with the legendary game designer.

Troy Baker spoke about Death Stranding during the Argentina Game Show 2018, confirming that he shot for the game together with Norman Reedus for two weeks. He added that Hideo Kojima is throwing his all into the game, which has a huge scope.

Troy Baker also went on to reveal how Hideo Kojima had the whole game in his mind for two years, without writing any note.

I was fascinated to know this, and I hope it’s okay that I say this, he had the entire game in his head for like two years. Some ridiculous amount of time, I may be wrong about the exact amount of time. He didn’t write it down on any notes, just had it all in his head. If you ever wanted to ask him anything he could tell you the exact fact. It’s the same with Metal Gear. I’ve never been to work with someone who required more trust, because it’s like you’re going through it blind. And he assembled an incredible cast of people to pull of a fantastical game. It’s trippy, it’s weird, I have no idea when it’s coming out. I believe I’m finished shooting… I think Norman’s finished, but I could be wrong. I just want to play it.

Death Stranding launches on a yet to be confirmed release date on PlayStation 4.
