Hideo Kojima is a complete wildcard when it comes to game development. The co-composer of Death Stranding 2 reportedly changed the game’s script around the halfway point of the development period because players ‘liked it too much.’
Just like the first game, fans expect a wild ride, so let’s jump right into the Early Access status.
