Earlier this fall, Kojima Productions shared a trailer for a Death Stranding anime movie, Death Stranding: Mosquito. However, that’s not the only anime expanding the Death Stranding universe. Franchise creator Hideo Kojima has revealed that a Death Stranding anime series is coming to Disney+.
Kojima and series director Takayuki Sano announced the series at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. The working title of the show is Death Stranding Isolations, which will utilize traditional hand-drawn 2D animation. The animation will be provided by E&H production, and Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 character designer Ilya Kuvshinov created the concept art for Isolations. The art includes a glimpse of the two leading characters.
While the series stands alone from the game, the synopsis mentions Norman Reedus’ Sam Bridges by name and hints that the male lead has an unknown grudge against Sam.
