The Post-Game Interviews of Death Stranding
Death Strandinghas quite a strange story, and just when players think things are over, they are treated to a movie-length cutscenes that, to some degree, helps to tie up loose ends. To unlock the post-game content, players need to do the remaining deliveries around the map, which is necessary anyway if one is aiming for the platinum trophy, and little by little, the emails will drip in. There are a few of them, but they are worth reading for fans who want to go into the sequel armed with as much knowledge as possible.
The most important post-game content may be Lucy Strand’s reports. As players learn, Lucy was a therapist and Sam’s wife. Lucy eventually commits suicide, leaving Sam heartbroken. Reading Lucy’s reports carefully lets gamers know a lot ’s past, the reasons for his phobia of touch, and Baby Lou’s origins. The post-game interviews also reveal a bit more about Die-Hardman’s, and it is revealed that he earned his name through his ability to survive against all odds. All the post-game interviews may also be important because they reveal the fate of many NPCs. This includes Fragile, who is left still worried about the fate of America, though she is willing to fight for it. Players also discover that Deadman has overcome his fear of death.
Are Gamers Prepared for Death Stranding 2?
Though not much has been revealed about the upcoming game, it appears that Lou will be playing a larger role, as Fragile is seen risking life and limb to save the baby. It has also been theorized that Elle Fanning may be playing an older version of Lou. This may make it vital that players know about Lou’s parents - Sam and Lucy - as well as all theabilities that DOOMS grants the baby. As the President of the United Cities of America, Die-Hardman will likely once again play a critical role inDeath Stranding 2, which could make it worthwhile to read up on his background.
Although it hasn’t received a release date yet, leaks have suggested thatDeath Stranding 2may be slated for a 2024 release window. Kojima has mostly kept his mouth shut, although he has let slip that Fanning will be playing a central role in the upcoming game, and that the script was re-written following the COVID-19 pandemic. Though it’s borderline impossible to predict what Kojima will do next,Death Stranding’s post-game content may offer some useful clues.
Death Strandingis available on PC, PS4, and PS5.
