Hot on the heels of announcing Death Stranding 2 (Working Title) at The Game Awards, gaming auteur Hideo Kojima’s Kojima Productions has partnered with Barbarian executive producer Alex Lebovici’s Hammerstone Studios to develop and produce an adaptation of the critical and commercial hit videogame franchise “Death Stranding.”

The plot for the project, which marks the first ever feature adaptation for Kojima Productions, is being kept under wraps but will introduce new elements and characters within the “Death Stranding” universe. It is on the fast track with development underway.

Kojima, under his Kojima Productions banner, and Lebovici, under his Hammerstone Studios banner, will develop and produce, with Hammerstone also fully financing. Kojima Productions US and Allan Ungar will executive produce.

“I couldn’t be more excited about this new partnership with Hammerstone Studios,” said Hideo Kojima. “This is a pivotal moment for the franchise and I’m really looking forward to collaborating with them in bringing Death Stranding to the big screen.”

“We are thrilled and honored to have the opportunity to partner with brilliant and iconic Hideo Kojima on his first film adaptation,” said Lebovici. “Unlike other big budget tentpole video game adaptations, this will be something far more intimate and grounded. Our goal is to redefine what a video game adaptation could be when you have creative and artistic freedom. This film will be an authentic "Hideo Kojima” production.”

Sony Interactive Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment have partnered to create a full album of all-new, original music inspired by Death Stranding. Stay tuned to our official channels for details on Death Stranding: Timefall (Original Music from the World of Death Stranding).
