Hideo Kojima has confirmed that even though he may not be directing the Death Stranding movie adaptation, he is heavily involved in it.
In a Twitter post, the auteur confirmed that he would be a part of the producing, supervising, and plotting processes among many more. This should hopefully calm down fans who were fearful that Kojima would not leave enough of a mark on the adaptation.
We've known for a while about a Death Stranding movie, but it still appears to be a long way off. Until then, we'll just have to look forward to Death Stranding 2, as we find out more information about the upcoming sequel.
