![]() By establishing more bonds with civilians and the isolated cities, you will be able to progress further into the world and advance Sam's capabilities in ways that weren't possible with fewer connections. This strange approach to narrative and the setting is not only a way to justify how Sam re-engages with a fractured world, but it also serves as the framework for Death Stranding's exploration and social gameplay. Humans who are caught by BTs are violently dragged away, leading to an occurrence known as a 'voidout.' When a voidout is triggered, an explosion will transpire, leaving a massive crater on the land. All the while, supernatural entities start to roam about, corrupting isolated areas of the country to take the remaining humans back to the realm of the dead. The game's narrative evolves the concept, presenting a scenario where large portions of the human population are swept away and brought into the realm of the dead. During this bizarre event that once only affected cetacean animals, the sea creatures die a slow death in places that are foreign to them. The game's title is a reference to the phenomena where aquatic animals-such as whales and dolphins-wash along shores en masse. In the aftermath of the Death Stranding event, the line between life and death has blurred, allowing creatures and individuals once thought dead to cross over into the real world-and the other way around. During his expedition, Sam will contend with supernatural entities and insurgent forces that now inhabit the land. These various Strands will bolster the Chiral Network, allowing more people to stay connected and leave their fear-induced isolation. To do that, he'll deliver cargo across the fractured remains of civilization and re-establish various Strands, a line of communication connecting survivors and different waystations across the nation. Recruited by the President of the United Cities of America, Bridget Strand, Sam works with the organization BRIDGES to help rebuild the nation and discover what happened to a previous expedition that sought to restore the country. With so many new dangers out in the quiet, post-apocalyptic landscape, not many people are willing to venture out into the outside world. As a result of the Death Stranding, a supernatural rain known as Timefall regularly coats the land, which instantly ages anyone and anything exposed to it. ![]() Following the event, a new material known as Chiralium has spread across the world, crippling the remains of civilization, its vast infrastructure, and forcing survivors into underground bunkers. Set 10 years after an event known as the Death Stranding pulled large segments of the North American population into the afterlife, you play as Sam Porter Bridges, a legendary porter in the remnants of the United Cities of America. Here's GameSpot's spoiler-free breakdown of what Death Stranding is all about. We've now arrived at its November 8 release date-with a PC version to come in Summer 2020-and we figured it was time to share our notes. Throughout the game, we learned what the baby in the capsule is for, and just what the deal is with oddball characters like the masked Die-Hardman. During our time with the game, the overall story that Death Stranding was made all the more clear, and it's surprisingly easy to take in what's driving Sam on his journey through the ruins of North America, that's populated by undead specters and hostile bandits. In our review of Death Stranding, we saw first-hand how much there is to do in the open-world game, which puts you in the shoes of courier-turned-American reconstructionist Sam Porter Bridges (played by Norman Reedus). ![]() That's begged the question: Just what is Death Stranding? With the game out now and many struggling to explain how the game works and what it's all about, you might be wondering this that much more. With so many unusual characters and plot threads, even by Kojima's standards, it's been especially challenging to keep up with the game's unique narrative and style. In the years following its announcement, Death Stranding has somehow become increasingly stranger and off-kilter with every passing trailer and cryptic messages from the creator about the game. Ever since its 2016 reveal, it's been shrouded in mystery. Death Stranding is Hideo Kojima's first big open-world game following his public departure from Konami and the Metal Gear Solid franchise.
