‘Death Stranding’ PC Release Delayed to July
In a move that’s unsurprising, 505 Games and Kojima Productions have announced the delay of the PC port for Death Stranding. Originally scheduled for release on Steam and the Epic Games Store on June 2, the game will now see a July 14th release.
505 Games made the announcement earlier this morning via Twitter that due to their work from home orders, and the difficulties this presents to testing and production, the game will see a month’s delay to allow the development team “more time to finalize and polish” the PC version. On the plus side, this leaves you with a longer timeframe to grab the pre-order, which includes content from Half-Life.
Death Stranding is out now on PlayStation 4.
Due to the work from home orders in place at #KojimaProductions, we've made the difficult decision to delay the PC launch of #DeathStranding to July 14, 2020. This allows the development team more time to finalize and polish. Thank you so much for the support, keep on keeping on! pic.twitter.com/DI9yVCsDEn

Just in time for Steam Next Fest, Studio Laaya has pushed a new update for their upcoming psychological thriller, Foghorns Drown. In addition to some subtle graphical improvements, the new demo features more mechanics, more characters, and a longer story. You can also grab the demo on itch.io.
Foghorns Drown casts you as a ferryman, bringing passengers across a foggy lake to a town drenched in mystery and folklore. The old ferryman has disappeared, and a murder has been committed. Coincidentally, you recently experienced a dream where you wandered through the pines, and came upon the body of someone who was murdered. Who is the killer? Why did the old ferryman disappear? Solve the mystery, before it’s too late.
First and foremost, you must tend to your job. You’ll use physics-based interactions to open doors, drag objects, and operate the crank of the ferry to pull it along a rusty old chain. The foghorns have little patience, the ferry must move.
Along the way, the story progresses through environmental clues, dialogue with the townsfolk, and surreal visions. As you progress, the psychological toll begins to escalate as truth begins to blur, and the strange old tales begin to reveal themselves to you. Something in the water demands its toll.
Originally aiming for a June 30 release, the team has decided to push Foghorns Drown to July.
