Director Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy, Mimic, Blade II, Pacific Rim) talked about his role in Hideo Kojima’s upcoming Death Stranding game during a phone interview with game website IGN on Monday.
In the interview, del Toro said that he is not creatively involved in the game, but that Kojima had contacted him to ask him to be a character in the game.
Kojima Productions, Kojima’s own development studio, is developing Death Stranding, and it will star Norman Reedus.
While other games offer elements analogous to “sticks” for gameplay, Death Stranding will also offer “ropes” to tie and link players together.
