Kojima Productions can’t hold the June 2 release date, so if you have been waiting for the PC port of the game that launched in November on PlayStation 4, you’ll have to wait for a bit more longer.
„Following the temporary closure of Kojima Productions [due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic], we have had to delay the PC launch of Death Stranding to July 14, 2020, to allow more development time amidst the current work-from-home orders in place. Thank you all for your patience and continued support!”, Kojima Productions wrote on Twitter.
Get used to seeing such news more often, as we keep hearing games getting delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. We can quickly mention three examples: The Last of Us Part II, Marvel’s Iron Man VR, Wasteland 3… and we have no idea how much the Xbox- and PlayStation-exclusive titles are affected. (We previously wrote that the launch line-up for both the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X could shrink due to COVID-19…)
„Developed by Kojima Productions, Death Stranding was one of the most anticipated projects of the last decade. Starring Norman Reedus as Sam Bridges, the game takes place in the near future, where mysterious explosions have rocked the planet, setting off a series of supernatural events known as the Death Stranding. With spectral creatures plaguing the landscape, and the planet on the verge of mass extinction, it’s up to Sam to journey across the ravaged wasteland to save mankind from impending annihilation. The groundbreaking experience from legendary game creator Hideo Kojima also features the acting and voice talents of Mads Mikkelsen and Lea Seydoux,” publisher 505 Games’ overview says.
Death Stranding launches on July 14 instead of June 2 on both Steam and Epic Games Store for 60 dollars. A Day 1 physical edition will also be available for 70. You’ll also get a bonus Denuvo DRM.

![However, an anonymous GOG employee paints an even darker tone of the internal situation: „We were told it’s a financial decision. GOG’s revenue couldn’t keep up with growth, the fact that we’re dangerously close to being in the red has come up in the past few months, and the market’s move towards higher [developer] revenue shares have, or will, affect the bottom line as well.](https://thegeek.games/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/the-gog-1-302x180.jpg)
