“I couldn’t be more excited about this new partnership with Hammerstone Studios. This is a pivotal moment for the franchise and I’m really looking forward to collaborating with them in bringing DEATH STRANDING to the big screen.”

"DS2" a sequel to the first game was just announced at The Game Awards last week and is set to release exclusively for the PlayStation 5 sometime in the future.
