‘Death Stranding Director’s Cut’ Finally Heads to PC This Spring
For you PC gamers that are bummed out that you never got that shiny new Director’s Cut of Death Stranding when it released for the PlayStation 5 last year, Kojima has heard your plight. Via 505 Games, Death Stranding Director’s Cut will be coming to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store this Spring.
If you thought the PS5 version looked slick, the upcoming PC version will incorporate Intel’s new Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) graphics technology. Xe Super Sampling uses machine learning to enable players to explore the game’s environments in “high graphical detail along with elevated performance.”
The PC version of Death Stranding Director’s Cut will include a higher frame rate, a Photo Mode, and ultra-wide monitor support. It will also include the cross-over content from Valve’s Half-Life and CD Projekt RED‘s Cyberpunk 2077. You’ll also be able to take advantage of the Social Strand System to stay connected with players from around the globe.
No word on if there will be an upgrade option for existing owners of the original game.
All copies of the Director’s Cut will also include:
- Selections from “The Art of Death Stranding” digital book (by Titan Books)
- Backpack patches
- Bridges Special Delivery Team suit (Gold)
- BB pod customization (Chiral Gold)
- Power Gloves (Gold)
- Bridges Special Delivery Team suit (Silver)
- BB pod customization (Omnireflector)
- Power Gloves (Silver)
Death Stranding is also available on the PlayStation 4 (the non-Director’s Cut version).
A year after its initial release on PC, Red Hook Studios will finally be bringing Darkest Dungeon II to the PlayStation. The base game, as well as the “The Binding Blade” DLC and the Oblivion bundle which contains the base game and DLC – will be available as cross-buy across PlayStation 4 and 5 on July 15th. Pre-orders are now available.
“We have been very eager to bring Darkest Dungeon II to PlayStation players,” said Tyler Sigman, Design Director for Red Hook Studios. “The game feels great with DualSense Controller–we’ve been able to add touches like feeling the heartbeat of a hero on death’s door, or the rumble of the stagecoach’s wheels as it hits a trap. [The original] Darkest Dungeon was fortunate to find a strong community on PlayStation and we hope the same proves true with the sequel.”
As mentioned, in addition to the base game (which we reviewed here), “The Blinding Blade” DLC will also be available on PlayStation. The expansion sees players face off against The Warlord, a new roaming mini-boss to encounter on your journey to the Mountain in Darkest Dungeon II. The DLC also adds two new playable heroes in The Duelist and The Crusader, complete with a special unlock quest for the Crusader, unique trinkets, signature items and fully voiced backstories, including playable flashback encounters.
Darkest Dungeon II is available now on the Epic Games Store and Steam.
