Death Stranding was all about connection, but after Covid-era metaverse hype, Kojima says that 'maybe it's not such a good thing to connect so much'

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is due for release in June, though the inevitable PC version is yet to be confirmed: let's just hope it doesn't take eight months this time. Creator and director Hideo Kojima has been on the interview circuit and, among other things like constantly making Metal Gear comparisons, gives some surprising insights into the themes of both games.

Necessary context here is that, while Death Stranding was developed before the Covid-19 pandemic, it released a few months beforehand.
