DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT

DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT is Hideo Kojima's open-world delivery game where traversal through post-apocalyptic terrain IS the core gameplay. Sam Bridges connects isolated survivor communities by transporting cargo on foot, managing terrain, weather, and load across the landscape. The asynchronous online system lets players leave structures and resources for other players' sessions. The Director's Cut adds story content, racing sequences, and new traversal tools.
