Death Stranding Director’s Cut is releasing exactly one month from now on September 24, 2021. While Hideo Kojima has been hard at work personally creating a trailer for the game, not much gameplay has been shown for the revamped next-gen version of 2019’s Death Stranding. What we do know so far is that the game will take advantage of the PS5’s unique enhancements, and include new features such as a “Very Hard Mode.”
In addition to Death Stranding gameplay, the Opening Night Live will also showcase a host of new game announcements and reveals. Ubisoft, for example, will show a new story trailer for Far Cry 6. Meanwhile, Deep Silver is also planning to announce some news about the Saints Row franchise, which many think is a reboot. Other planned announcements include a new game announcement by Devolver Digital, as well as a world premiere for Splitgate and an announcement from Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt.
