Kojima: Potential ‘Death Stranding’ Sequel Would “Start From Zero”
If you’re hungry for more Death Stranding (and there are those of you who are), Hideo Kojima is keeping mum on a potential sequel for now. However, in an interview with Vulture, Kojima does state that if the game does indeed get a sequel, it would “start from zero”, and wouldn’t be a direct follow-up.
What that means is anyone’s guess. The sequel could potentially not contain any of the plot points from the first game, or it could be taking place in the same universe with a new set of characters. Perhaps the answer lies in the two-part novelization, which is currently out now in Japan?
Whatever the case may be, Kojima does state that he’s still keen on teaming up with Norman Reedus again, though it remains to be seen if that’s for a Death Stranding sequel. In the meantime, Kojima is keeping his next project close to his chest. That includes a potential return to horror.
Death Stranding is out now on PlayStation 4, with a PC release coming Summer 2020.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
