Last November, Kojima Productions released Death Stranding, which serves as the studio’s first-ever video game since its establishment back in 2015. Prior to its launch, Death Stranding became one of 2019’s highly-anticipated games, and its release saw a major success given that the game received mostly positive reviews from both players and critics.

Now, players who still haven’t tried Death Stranding would be happy to know that the game is currently on sale at Walmart. The retailer is offering Death Stranding for $44.99, which is 25% cheaper than its original price of $59.99. Death Stranding was mostly praised by players and critics during its release due to its unique gameplay and exploration of real-life themes. The game revolves around the character of Sam Porter Brides (Norman Reedus), who is tasked to deliver supplies and reconnect isolated colonies via a wireless communications network.

As for what is next at Kojima Productions after the successful release of Death Stranding last year, Hideo Kojima revealed in an interview with Famitsu Weekly Magazine last month that he is interested in developing smaller titles. While the developer did not go into specific details, it is likely that the studio will be releasing smaller-scale games, which could be in the form of episodic or digital-only formats. Of course, this approach will be a massive departure from Kojima’s usual triple-A titles, but it will be interesting to see what the developer has in mind for the future.

Meanwhile, it was recently announced that Hideo Kojima will be this year’s recipient of BAFTA Games’ The Fellowship Award. To the uninitiated, The Fellowship is given to an individual and recognize’s a person’s contribution to film, television, and games. Of course, given Kojima’s vast influence in the video game industry with successful games such as Metal Gear and Death Stranding under his belt, the BAFTA award is not at all surprising. Kojima is set to receive BAFTA’s highest honor on April 2, 2020.

Death Stranding is out now on PlayStation 4 and is set to release on PC later this year.
