Death Stranding director Hideo Kojima shared a trailer for a game called RUSSIA 2055 on social media today, and it’s being developed by a studio that we’ve never heard of before. Ordinarily we’d shrug and move on with our lives, but this is the same guy who created a fictional developer named Moby Dick Studios, and then hired a Swedish actor to appear in an interview with Geoff Keighley – complete with bandages around his face.
Here’s the blurb for the game: “In year 2055 US Forces and Russian Military conflict halts as they defend Earth from the first alien invasion that first started in Russia. RUSSIA 2055 is a futuristic military first-person shooter game. With a multiplayer of up to 64 Players. Multiplayer consists of Mech vs Mech, Russian vs US Military, Alien vs US/RU.”
There’s no word of platforms, but it’s apparently being created by a team named Invictus Volition, which joined Twitter last month. The game was shared on an Unreal Engine message board a few days ago, by an account that was created in 2015. Look, it’s perfectly possible that Kojima saw this and thought it was cool so decided to share it with his millions of followers – but you just never know with the Metal Gear maker, do you?

Didn't he say that he would surprise us with something this year? A multiplayer spin off perhaps?
Is like a mix of Resistance, War of the Worlds and Titanfall.
NOICE.
Good way to generate hype, mebe he has a game, Like the fake game
Looks Hideous
Somebody render then trailer through a black & white filter and see how long it takes for anybody to notice the difference.
I don't think Kojima is behind this one to be honest.
This would imply Death Stranding has gameplay.
Or Kojima saw a trailer and said "Oh, THAT'S what people are asking to see?"
If it's a real game then it's clearly low budget and I highly doubt Kojima is working on it in some way.
If it's something to do with Death Stranding then Kojima's just being Kojima.
Either way, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
My guess is death stranding is battlefield like multiplayer shooter with battle royale mode
The Twitter account only having three Tweets and being made last month screams viral marketing to me.
This guy has trolled so many people that he can't even poop without a team of redditors analyzing it for possible clues on his next project, good lord.
@RedMageLanakyn lol... Master of troll had internet in his palm...
I think he just sharing something he found interesting..
The account posted this seem genuinely looking for feedback & exposure...
This has koj all over it. I expect its highlighting the prelude to death stranding
@Rob_230 Yeah, my thoughts exactly.
Mechs look VERY Kojima. HUD and crosshairs are straight out of MGS, and the font at the end is the same one used in the menus of Phantom Pain.
This is either Death Stranding gameplay, or something else he's working on. Either way it looks good!
Uh-huh. And P.T. was a horror game from a random indie.
The robots look like something from Metal Gear, and those alien things they're shooting at...
This is some sort of Death Stranding related tease, I guarantee it.
Some of u are crazy, this looks cool! Personally im ALL FOR alien invasion stuff! And if any of it is actually game play (and of course its not😞) but IF IT IS!... thats a ps5 game right there!
If I were Kojima, I'd be sharing all sorts of random stuff, just to see what conclusions people draw from it.
Pastel sketch of a penguin? Share. Signed photo of Frank Bruno? Share. Manual for an old Ford Capri? Share share share
Maybe it's sort of "prequel video" to Death Stranding but with added hud for fun. Aliens invasion, war, and then alien's "nuclear" bomb as self spreading black gunk causing sort of speeding up behaviour of atoms an all living creatures.
Origin story for Mysterious Soldier, simple.
Damn this looks nice, could be related to Death Stranding somehow?
Remember, he actually handicapped the graphics to P.T. to make it seem like something an indie studio could've made, though it still looked incredible. The lifeless eyes could still be Kojima's work.
Looks like zone of Ender's meets metal gear by way of total fall.
Could be developers from his former metal gear teams at konami that have started their own studio or it's linked to death stranding.
this has a Kojima vibe to me bet it is part of Death Stranding
