As reported by Gematsu, Japanese video game designer Hideo Kojima recently had an interview with Dengeki PlayStation for a special feature article, titled "Creator Interviews." In the interview, Kojima shared, "Development on Death Stranding is going well enough that SIE told us, 'We have never before seen a game being created at such a fast pace.' We are planning an announcement that will further surprise everyone in 2018."

Many gamers and video game critics are still asking about the full content of the upcoming video game. The most recent update for the game is its cinematic trailer released during the Game Awards. "Death Stranding" is one of the most-anticipated video game releases next year.

Dengeki also spoke to Level-5's President Akihiro Hino. Level-5 will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2018, and the company will mark the milestone with a new video game installment. The company is working on "a major title" to honor the anniversary according to Hino. The video game mogul did not provide any further details about the project.
