If you want to go into Hideo Kojima’s new game completely spoiler free you may want to skip the launch trailer for Death Stranding.
You’d expect something epic for Death Stranding’s launch trailer but apart from being over seven minutes long it’s also surprisingly spoiler-filled.
Or perhaps not surprising, given the final trailer for most modern movies seem to give everything away and everyone knows how much Hideo Kojima loves his movies.
Out of context, there’s no shocking revelations in the trailer but having beaten the game ourselves we were surprised to see just how much was from the very end of the game.
The trailer also spells out the plot in a more straightforward manner than we would’ve expected, given most of that stuff also comes only after 30 hours or so of gameplay.
It’s a nicely made trailer, but we thought we should warn anyone that goes on to play the game and suddenly starts recognising all these key moments.
Although when you start playing it you’ll also recognise one of the first scenes as being from the very first teaser trailer, so it may not be possible to be entirely spoiler free.
Death Stranding will be out on PlayStation 4 on 8 November, but the review embargo is this Friday, 1 November. A PC version has also been announced, but only for next year.
