Kojima Productions' revelation that Hideo Kojima will be appearing at the Tribeca Games Festival on April 29 has led to speculations which suggest that more news about "Death Stranding" will be released during the said event.
A lot of anticipation is surrounding "Death Stranding" because this will be the first project that will be handled by "Metal Gear Solid" creator Kojima after his controversial exit from Konami. Fans have taken the Twitter post announcing his appearance to mean that his presence in the festival will lead to new announcements, such as more plot details, or the game's release date, or a new trailer about the game. This is despite the fact that the social media post did not say anything about such.
While two trailers of the game were already revealed by the studio — one during 2016's E3 and the other one during The Game Awards — the way the videos ran left gamers with more questions than answers. So far, people are only sure that "The Walking Dead" actor Norman Reedus will star in the game and that Mads Mikkelsen of "Hannibal" will play as the villain.
Despite the creepiness of the trailer, Kojima earlier revealed that "Death Stranding" will not be a horror game. Instead, it will be an action game with an open world setting.
Kojima himself has kept mum about the project, only providing bits and pieces of information to keep the buzz about the game going. He recently posted an image of a strange creature on his Twitter account, leading fans to believe that this could be one of the monsters that players will face in "Death Stranding."
Kojima previously said in an interview with IGN that the game will feature familiar elements, but it will also provide a new experience for gamers. He also revealed in another interview with the gaming website that their target date for releasing "Death Stranding" is 2018, before the Olympics.
