'Death Stranding' updates: Game not expected to arrive soon as script and design not yet done

While Hideo Kojima has been actively teasing "Death Stranding" on his Twitter account, the game is not expected to arrive anytime soon as it was the game creator himself who hinted that he is not yet even done with the upcoming game's script and design.

After its trailer reveal at last year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3 2016), there is no denying that "Death Stranding" has become one of the most-anticipated games ever. While many gamers can no longer wait to lay their hands on the said game, it is believed that it will not arrive anytime soon as its creator, Kojima, has suggested on his Twitter account that he is not even done working on its script and design.

Through a series of Twitter posts at the early part of this month, Kojima revealed some details on the process involved in the creation of "Death Stranding." In one of his tweets, he shared that, while he works on the script of the game on his desk, he makes sure to head to the location of the game's setting whenever he works on its design.

"Last week I was working mainly on the game design, this week going back to focus on the scenario development," Kojima said on a Twitter post last April 6.

While it remains uncertain when "Death Stranding" will arrive, more and more people suspect that the said game will feature Emma Watson to portray one of its characters. It is notable that, on the mentioned tweet of the game creator, the post was accompanied by a photo showing his laptop and a replica of the Enchanted Rose from the recent blockbuster "Beauty and the Beast," which stars Watson.

As if that were not enough to speculate the actress' inclusion in the upcoming game, Kojima again tweeted a photo of the iconic Enchanted Rose identified with the movie, prompting gaming fans to suspect more and more that "Death Stranding" will, indeed, feature Watson in the game.

Apart from possibly including Watson in the game, it is also said that there is a possibility for Kojima himself to make a cameo in "Death Stranding," just like what he did in his "Metal Gear" games. However, this can only be confirmed once the game is released, who knows exactly when.
