Saying “Hideo Kojima does weird stuff” is like saying “EA really likes live service games.” Of course Hideo Kojima does weird stuff, and he’s doing a lot of it in Death Stranding too. It’s hard to say just what the weirdest thing is in the entire game – there’s tough competition for that title – but the fact that you carry a baby in a jar with you at all times is definitely in contention.
When you’re playing Death Stranding, this baby – called BB – will often make noises and interact with you, and Kojima recently revealed on Twitter that the noises it makes will come from the speakers on your DualShock 4 controller (at least if you choose that in the game’s settings). Considering the fact that you’ll be soothing the BB by rocking your controller, it looks like the DualShock 4 is going to act as a conduit of sorts with this weird bottled baby. It’s pretty neat, then, that the DualShock 4 in the limited edition Death Stranding-themed PS4 Pro looks like a BB pod.
Death Stranding recently wrapped up development, and is out exclusively for the PS4 on November 8- and you won’t require PS Plus subscription to enjoy the game’s multiplayer features. Kojima has recently been teasing launch trailer as well, so be on the lookout for that in the coming days.
