The strange world of Death Stranding just keeps on expanding.
As Deadline reports, Hideo Kojima’s ghostly, post-apocalyptic video game is getting a spinoff in the form of an animated film.
Aaron Guzikowski, creator of the HBO series Raised by Wolves, has signed on as writer.
“I love the world of Death Stranding, it’s so creatively freeing, so beautifully dark and yet hopeful,“ he said in a statement, noting that he would be creating ”new stories into this fertile, mind-bending universe.“The news comes just ahead of the game’s long-awaited sequel, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, which launches on the PS5 on June 26th.
A live-action film is also in the works from A24, with Michael Sarnoski — the director of Pig and A Quiet Place — on board to direct.
