Lmao. Death Stranding really did feel like it foreshadowed Covid. I like this qoute from Kojima, he says DS2 leans more into that, I just hope he doesn't have small nuclear exchanges in DS2 or I'll be eyeing Isreal with a bit more fear in me.
Kojima - "We released Death Stranding before the Covid-19 pandemic, when the world was moving toward isolation and division—as with Brexit. The idea behind it was ‘Let's connect. We’ll face disaster if we don’t connect.’ The theme, the story, and the gameplay of the first chapter all revolved around that idea,” Kojima tells WIRED. “After the release, just three months later, a pandemic broke out, and I was very surprised. It really felt like Death Stranding, in a way.”
