Kojima has made no secret of the fact he wants to invent a new “strand” genre with Death Stranding, and as a result he believes one game might not be enough for his ideas to catch on.
Speaking to Gamespot, Kojima explained that he believes without sequels, Death Stranding will not establish Strand as a continuing genre. “When you create something new, you have to create a sequel and then a third version or it
not remain as a genre,” he said. “When this game comes out there will be a lot of pros and cons, and
, but I think it’s better that I keep it going in a sequel.”
