What We Know About the Death Stranding Anime
In his recent interview, Kojima said that with the help of A24, he is working on a live-action film adaptation of Death Stranding, revealing that he looks to the likes of The Last of Us and The Super Mario Bros. Movie that appeal to its original storyline or as a fan service, but sneaked in the fact he is also working on an anime adaptation, without expanding on further details.
As translated by VGC, Kojima said: “I aim to create a Death Stranding that can only be realized through film, one that could win awards at festivals like the Cannes Film Festival or the Venice Film Festival. In fact, we are also currently working on an anime adaptation.”
Why Now Is the Right Time for a Death Stranding Anime
Video game adaptations for TV and film are growing increasingly popular, with shows like The Last of Us, Fallout, and Halo expanding their universes and fan bases. Animes are also finding massive success, such as Castlevania and Arcane on Netflix.
With Death Stranding 2: On the Beach launching on PS5 next month and a film adaptation on the way, an anime could expand on the franchise’s post-apocalyptic setting, focusing on new characters, stories, and timelines.
What Fans Can Expect Next
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach releases on PlayStation 5 on June 26, 2025, and Kojima has partnered with A24 and A Quiet Place: Day One’s Michael Sarnoski for the upcoming Death Stranding movie, slated for 2027.
