It has performed ‘quite well’ from a sales perspective
Death Strandingis getting itsDirector’s Cutin September, but it’s apparently already performed well on PlayStation 4 and PC. According to Kojima Productions,Death Strandinghas sold through over five million units on PS4 and PC.
Kojima Productions’ head of publishing Jay Boor toldGamesIndustry.bizthat the studio is optimistic about the release ofDeath Stranding Director’s Cuton PlayStation 5.
“WithDeath Strandingbeing the first title developed out of Kojima Productions, from a sales perspective, it has performed quite well,” said Boor. “As of March 2021,Death Strandinghas sold through over five million units worldwide on PlayStation 4 and PC.”
Boor also notes that while the core Kojima Productions team hasn’t changed significantly since the launch ofDeath Stranding, its operations have changed, as a result of the pandemic.
Death Strandingfirstlaunched in 2019, as Kojima Productions’ debut game about Sam “Porter” Bridges trying to reconnect the world, carrying massive amounts of cargo on the way. The post-apocalyptic delivery simarrived on PC last year, with a few new pieces of content like a headcrab fromHalf-Lifeincluded.
TheDirector’s Cutwill be addingeven more contentto Kojima’s tale of trekking across America. There’s some new equipment, like the Buddy Bot who can roam the vast landscape of the U.S. with you, the Jump Ramp, and the Cargo Catapult. There are also some new story missions in store, some upgraded melee attacks, and also a racing circuit? I mean, it’d be a shame to let all those big, open highways go to waste.
Even ifKojima takes some umbragewith theDirector’s Cutlabel, the new version of the game will be bringing a fair amount of new content to Kojima Productions’ debut whenDeath Stranding Director’s Cutgoes live on Sept. 24, 2021 for the PlayStation 5.
