At the very heart of the Metro franchise is a sense of fear and anticipation, with many of the game's scenes being set in pitch-black subway tunn

Before Fallout 3 was released, there was S.T.A.L.K.E.R. : Shadow of Chernobyl , a title that inspired many of the post-apocalyptic experiences that players know and love today.

In late September 2022, a private document from Sony Interactive Entertainment was leaked on ResetEra by user Arubedo .

Oscar-winner Charlize Theron has been building her action resume recently with starring roles in Atomic Blonde , The Old Guard , and the Fast and Furious franchise, but the 2005 Aeon Flux game is her only video game credit to date.

Clues that **Death Stranding 2 ** is in development have been appearing for months, with fans of the original Death Stranding and its creator, Hideo Kojima, trying to squeeze every possible drop of information from what are very often cryptic hints and leaks. First, there was a comment in September 2021 by actor Norman Reedus, who did the motion-capture and voice acting for main character Sam Porter Bridges in the first Death Stranding , saying that a sequel was in negotiations. Then, in May 2022, Reedus casually mentioned in an interview that production on the second game had already begun. This was followed by a teaser from Kojima Productions that a game was in the works and then, most recently, a leaked document from PlayStation that seemed to confirm it.What all of this adds up to, though, is a great deal of uncertainty. Death Stranding (and its Director's Cut gameplay fixes) was a popular if not divisive, successful game that won a lot of nominations, awards, and acclaim for its developers, in the United States, Europe, and Japan, which would suggest that a sequel is likely. And it does seem undeniable that a Death Stranding 2 is in the works, judging by the sheer number of rumors and leaks that have surrounded the game over the last year, some of them apparently perpetrated or at least encouraged by Kojima himself. But few details about the game are known, and even fewer have been confirmed by people close to the project. Related: Death Stranding 2's Best Improvement Would Be A Party System Still, the likelihood of a sequel to 2019’s Death Stranding has excited many fans and players craving a return to the game’s post-apocalyptic wasteland and the reappearance of the courier Bridges, who crosses this terrain delivering supplies to isolated settlements across Death Stranding ’s unrecognizable map of America and linking them into a wireless communication network. Along with Reedus, other Hollywood actors and celebrities made appearances in Death Stranding , and rumors have pointed to the possibility of other familiar faces (or their motion-cap renderings) appearing in the sequel. A brief review of what is known for certain about Death Stranding 2 , what is hinted at, and what is hoped for can help bring Kojima watchers up-to-date on the status of his latest proj
