We're just a couple of weeks away from Gamescom 2019, Europe's largest gaming event. The one and only Geoff Keighley is busy organising Opening Night Live, a livestreamed event that will take place just before the show itself opens on 20th August. We imagine this will play host to some cool announcements and updates on some upcoming games. In fact, he's announced the presentation will feature none other than Hideo Kojima, who will provide an "exclusive new look" at his PlayStation 4 oddity, Death Stranding.
That's all the information we have to go on right now. There's a possibility we might see some extended gameplay footage, but knowing Kojima, it's just as likely to be another bizarre trailer. Your guess as to what will be shown is as good as ours, but we'll definitely be watching Gamescom's Opening Night Live showcase to find out.
Are you excited to see more Death Stranding at Gamescom? Stay out of the rain in the comments below.

@playstation1995 yah i also want to see more of GOT.
it's been rather silent about that game while both death stranding and TLOU get more and more little pieces of info/rumours.
all we hear about GOT at the moment is that they are hiring people. would be nice to get some news about the state of the game since it can't be THAT far off anymore.
So long as it is not more of that cryptic bulls***.

@NintendoFan4Lyf It'll probably be just a cut scene like recently.
@jdv95 oh yeah ghost of tshushima is my most hyped ps4 exclusive.word up son
the hype is real. I cannot wait for this game and I'm already losing my sanity over it.
I don't remember when was the last time a game captivated me this much, if ever, but being a huge Sci-Fi fan in any shape and form, I can see that Death Stranding is going to set some new tropes and boundaries.
My speculation about Aug 19th is that we'll finally get to see how it plays. I'm sure Kojima hasn't said much regarding the gameplay, because it's hard to explain and he prefers to show it than tell. Being a livestream by the legend himself, I'm thinking something like MGSV will happen, where he will showcase a 30-40 minutes footage of the gameplay while he commentates on it.
Cheers.
Yeah, can’t wait for this game
It will most likely be another character showcase.
Can we have some more on Heartman, I quite liked that eccentric fellow.
@NintendoFan4Lyf Rockstar did the same with RDR2, and Sony with GoW. They didn’t have full gameplay reveals till 3 months before the games came out. Look how they turned out.
I can’t help but think this game is going to turn out to be a major disappointment, it’s been getting hyped up way too much with such little information and lack of gameplay, we still don’t even know what type of game it is or how it’s going to play. Kojima has been teasing the game for so long it’s getting ridiculous and frankly boring now to the point where I’m not even interested in it anymore.
@DreamerAbe86 My thoughts exactly. Seems like most people forgot the joy of slowly discovering the gameplay elements and features of the game, instead of having everything revealed in trailers before launch...
@DreamerAbe86 Yes, but they were existing IPs. Appreciate that the games made significant changes to the template, but it doesn't matter, players had an idea, or thought they did, about how the game would play. There was an aspect of familiarity to rest your expectations on. Not so much here. It is resting on Kojima's reputation alone and some teaser trailers, which obscure more than they reveal. It is getting tiresome, I know it's meant to be art and so on, but I'd like to know how this thing plays to know if I should care.
My death is ready.
@finalstan GoW PS4 while not a new IP was a reimagining of the series. I remember a lot of people being wary about the game, because Sony took a long time to have media try it and have hands on impressions on it.
And while DS is a new IP, one just has to look at his previous record. More likely than not this will be another game of the year nominee, as all his titles have been since MGS in 1998. Wouldn't be surprised if it's most publication's game of the year.
