A Death Stranding film adaptation in the works

Kojima Productions and Hammerstone Studios announced today that they are partnering to produce a live-action adaptation of the former’s game Death Stranding. This comes shortly after studio namesake Hideo Kojima announced the next game in the series, currently called Death Stranding 2.

Kojima and Hammerstone founder Alex Lebovici will develop and produce the film while Hammerstone will finance it. According to the studio, the film will add new characters and elements to the game’s story. Lebovici describes it as “far more intimate and grounded” than other game-to-film adaptations.
