It seems that death barriers need not only live-action, but also animation. In a new article before June Death Stranding 2: On the Beachdirector Hideo Kojima seems to confirm the anime’s adaptation of death barriers.
Speech Japanese fashion (pass VGC), Kojima mentioned his current collaboration with A24's adaptation of live-action death movies, but some additional records about anime in the work ended. Here is the quote, translated by machine:
“I'm also currently working with A24 for a live-action film adaptation of Death Stranding. When it comes to movie adaptations for the game, there are recent films like “Our Last” that keep the original plot the same, while movies like “Super Mario Bros. Movies” are more of a service to game fans. Each of these works has its own merits, but as a movie lover, I want to express it as a movie. My goal is to do “Death Stranding” in a way that can only be done as a movie and will win awards at the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival. In fact, we're currently working on anime adaptations.”
Although the production studio is not confirmed, it does sound like Death Stranding has another adaptation on the way to the anime form.
In 2023, A24 officially confirms that it is working with Kojima Productions and his director in a live-action death movie. At that time, Kaojima said that adaptation was not only a “direct translation” of the game. “The intention is that our audience will not only be fans of the Olympics, but our films will be suitable for anyone who loves film,” said Kaujima. “We are creating a death stranded universe that we have never seen before, which can only be achieved through the medium of film, and it will be born.”
Earlier this year, a quiet place: Day 1 director Michael Sarnoski Signing and directing death stranding adaptation reportedly. Death Stay Star Norman Reedus said he would certainly “play his own role in the movie.”
With another adaptation, I was curious to see what death can do in the anime space. Depending on which studio pick, we can get some different and interesting versions of the Death Stranded Universe. Imagine a very interesting one Studio Trigger– For example, death stranded.
Meanwhile, in the video game world, Death Barrier 2: On the Beach, will be released on PlayStation 5 on June 26, 2025. If you're going to be together on the next death stranded entry, Check out our hands-on impressions of death 2: On the beach After 30 hours of the competition.
