Death Stranding 2

[Julius]

Oof, just noticed when I paused on the Collector's Edition screen (was curious about what was included for the previously leaked €229.99 price) – Early Access from June 24th? It calls out the Digital Deluxe Edition included in the CE (no physical edition at that price? That's wild!) so seemingly all Digital Deluxe Editions will be Early Access? 

Seems strange for such a story heavy game, and it means getting it on a Tuesday instead of on the Thursday (rather than, say, a Friday instead of a Tuesday)...interesting

So, this has just been rated in South Korea:

Yeah, yeah, I know, sometimes we get these ratings a good while out...but the first Death Stranding had its rating deliberated in SK on 18/09/19, before the game released on 08/11/19. And Kojima and PlayStation are pretty consistent about their build-up to launch roadmaps. 

So, potentially somewhere between May and July for this, I'd guess? That rumoured State of Play for next week (otherwise some time this month) seems the obvious place to drop this release date. 

Which I imagine would mean Yōtei is indeed the September/October autumn title for them this year, which I thought would be the case just based on the visuals/vibe. 

Super exciting stuff, you could be playing DS2 pretty soon @Hero-of-Time @drahkon!

I'm so close to being caught up on Kojima, I've been pretty purposeful in getting through the MGS games before wanting to get to Death Stranding...but yeah, there's little chance I realistically get to DS2 this year, what with MGSV and DS both being these massive games I'd rather take my time with than rush. Still, I'm so close to being caught up! 

Ok so i'm pretty sure i've worked out f**k, a**h**e, s**t, and d**n, what what the h**l is h**sy**t supposed to be?

Of course!

Having it as one word threw me.

Haha yeah, the spacing between the asterisks makes it all look really odd, and then they go and decide that's one word

Collector's Edition trailer: 

Still wild to me that it comes with a code for the Digital Deluxe Edition for the price it is 

Not to even mention the early access weirdness
