Wow. We were expecting another mind-boggling Death Stranding trailer, but Kojima Productions has blown us away with this 8-minute video. The launch trailer is here, and it's probably the best promo yet for a game that already has a lot of excellent contenders.
We'll let you watch it and make your own minds up, but this has us seriously excited to jump in and discover all the game's secrets. Even if you've grown weary of the prolonged marketing campaign for Death Stranding, we'd say this is definitely worth checking out -- unless you'd rather go in knowing as little as possible.
Death Stranding is out on 8th November, but at least you have this excellent trailer to tide you over for the next week or so. What do you think of the launch trailer? Tell us in the comments below.

I'm worried that this has some spoilers for the game outside the trailers we've already seen.
Unbelievable trailer. Could very well have spoilers in it, but it had the desired impact on me: I'm hyped.
Yeah, that was pretty extraordinary. I'm gonna miss the weirdo teasers for this game. Seems just like yesterday my friends and I were watching the E3 2016 reveal of it. Man, time flies...

check them at your own risk might contain spoilers.
I'm only more confused..
Ok, I thought I understood some things about the game, now I don't.
But graphically , WOW. Beautiful.
I really hope that my game arrives the 7th.
I pre ordered it this morning, think i'll skip this and go in blind. Watch it down the road after i boot the game up next friday!
How can people be excited for this when the gameplay loop is still unclear. I mean, I know they showed an hour of gameplay, but if that's all you do...
This trailer was my last hope they would show more biomes. Guess it's just moss environments from start to end.
Two more days!
@MightyDemon82 I've been ignoring everything about the game after the first big trailer. I haven't seen any of the gameplay.
Yes, it may show 2 or 3 things that maybe will make me predict something while I play, but aside from that, I think it's worth it.
@sabaki08 The gameplay looks good, though? Shouldn't we applaud different systems? There are already more than enough games where you shoot people or run from left-to-right. Gameplay shouldn't just be confined to those two actions.
@get2sammyb i bet this site give this game is 10/10
@get2sammyb Are you reviewing this game ? just wondering
@get2sammyb There are tons of mechanics as we've seen, but I'm not sure if there's enough context for them throughout the game. Embargo lifts in two days and I can't wait to see what everyone has to say about it and prove me wrong.
All I can compare this game to right now, though, is Red Dead Online's Stew Bowl challenge.
Oddly I feel like they showed too much this time lol
I think I mentioned this once before but this looks like it could be Final Fantasy 16, or the sequel to the FF movie Spirits Within.
Crazy how in game graphics now look so much better than a movie did back then.
I'm not a big fan of let's plays but I think that may be the way I approach this one. We'll wait to see what the reviews say.
Wow, that trailer was stunning. That trailer alone sold me on the game, but I’m still skeptical of the actual gameplay. I guess I’ll find out soon enough.
Wow what a trailer! Hopefully Amazon accidentally send me my copy early because I cant wait to play this
Sign me up for the tv show, do I want to play it? No idea to be honest
Do we know that this is definitely PS4 footage and not the PC version? looks very nice if it is, although it may make my pro finally take off and leave the room!
I already preordered this game a few weeks back, and have been able to steer clear of spoilers and have avoided almost everything for the past two months. This is extremely tempting, but I’ll still hold off. I’m personally fine with not having much info on the gameplay loop in advance. Unless the controls are truly and throughly busted, I don’t expect to have a negative reaction.
Amazing trailer.the graphics looks amazing.word up son
Great trailer!
However, I am not convinced at all by the game itself. Still looking at this barren world to be traversed on foot and keep asking myself how this won't be incredibly tedious. I keep thinking of the lush world of Horizon Zero Dawn and its incredible combat mechanics. I still believe HZD has better graphics overall and is more "gamey" than this.
I will wait on the fence what the press/youtubers will have to say about this, but I am not very hyped...
Great trailer. Looking forward to reading the reviews, hopefully from this Friday when the embargo lifts. I’m still holding off preordering until those scores are in though..there are too many unknowns in a Hideo Kojima game. I know he likes to be original and innovative, but that doesn’t automatically make for a great game.
@BridgeToClarity
You weren't lying.
Not sure about gameplay reviews, but Rotten Tomatoes has it at 96% Fresh.
@LowTech I waited till i got home and watched it on my 4K t.v. Even more hyped for next Friday now!
Can't wait for nov 8
This game is just pure kojima, cut scene heavy CHECK unique gameplay mechanics CHECK bat s**t crazy story SUPER CHECK. Can't bloody wait (well I can cause outer world's is amazing)
@sabaki08 Ha! The stew bowl challenge. Great analogy.
Great trailer!My thoughts have been all over the place on this game to be honest..but now I'm pretty sure I'll buy it.
If it showed spoilers I don't really know what they were as I'm still confused,nothing's changed there!
Will not watch the trailer till I get the platinum.
Gah! I think I’ll wait for the PC version, since I’m sure this will make my PS4 sound like a jet engine (like every non-2D game does at this point).
Short of cleaning it, which I often do, what’re we supposed to do, short of buying a new console (which is dumb with the PS5 a year away)? I’m not about to crack it open and re-apply gel to the heatsink or whatever!
Trailer was absolutely amazing. Can't wait to experience this game.
The wait grows harder and harder by the day.
Hideo Kojima is back, and he has brought his new toys.
With that said, I enjoyed the trailer and cannot stop rewatching it on YouTube.
November 8th,
I hope everybody will get to enjoy this game.
That's an impressive cast list for a game. Lindsay Wagner's looking pretty good for a 70 year old!
@arnoldlayne83 Was gonna make a comment, but you basically just said everything I'm thinking.
The bionic woman.. Lindsay Wagner, she needed convincing by Kojima that this wouldn't be a traditional violent video game before she agreed to be in it.
So, I've just watch this again and although it's states PS4 pro enhanced at the beginning, there is no mention of "all footage captured on PS4 pro hardware" as they usually do?????? I'm thinking this must be PC footage and may not look this good on ps4's or pros??
I am so glad this game exists- and it's sad we don't get more like this. Games that truly feel out of this world and offer a unique gaming experience like no other.
No games as a service BS. No microtransactions. Just pure gaming bliss.
Must.....Not....Watch! 😬
I watched it, felt completely confused then realised I'd much prefer to hack things up with a light saber so I'm ordering the new Star Wars game instead. Boom!
@MightyDemon82 Told ya And, although it has some scenes that can help to predict somethings while playing the game, I did not understand a damn thing. I was just amazed by the graphics, and that's it, and yes, more hyped..
