2024 had its fair share of exciting things, including all the updates and new details on Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Director Hideo Kojima reminisced on these in a New Year’s Eve tweet, including the developer’s Tokyo Game Show stage event (its first in five years).
However, he also revealed hurdles to the upcoming Xbox-exclusive horror game OD and the PlayStation-exclusive stealth action title Physint. “For OD, we developed the game and had actor and environment scanning.
