Death Stranding PS4 PlayStation 4 1

If you’ve been on Twitter or Instagram this past week, you’ll have seen this insufferable ten year challenge meme, where people post side-to-side pictures that are a decade apart. It’s become so popular that there have already been plenty of riffs on it, with veteran voice actor Troy Baker perhaps posting the most interesting of all.

The frustratingly fresh-faced actor posted a picture of Snow from Final Fantasy XIII next to the Man in the Golden Mask from Death Stranding. He added an ellipsis and a question mark to the end of the sentence. The insinuation, if you’re not following, is that Kojima Productions’ upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive opus could release in 2019.

Now this is obviously a possibility. Industry icon Hideo Kojima’s said that he expects it to be out prior to the Olympics, and there’s been various pieces of speculation pointing to a 2019 release date – in fact, only this week was the auteur demoing the title to Guerrilla Games. Obviously game development is difficult and plans can change, but we’d definitely be down for some Death Stranding this year.
