澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death Stranding is one enigmatic game. So far, so obvious, but with the recent announcement of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death Stranding release date and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death Stranding trailer finally being out in the open, you might have thought that you now have a ro𝕴ugh idea of what the game is. 

But, according to , we shouldn't make assumptions about Death Stranding's genre, since it's "not a steal🌊th game. Could move subjectively but not ꦍa FPS shooting game either. By incorporating with the concept of connection (strand), it's a totally brand new genre called action game/strand game (social strand system)." 

Th♛at's pretty darn cryptic, mainly because I think it's anyone's gꦰuess what a social strand game is. However, judging by what Kojima has said in the past, it sounds like he's envisioning a game where interacting with different players is part of the core Death Stranding experience. 

mentions that asynchronous multiplayer is going to be a key part of the title, as you have to "Help ꦅother travellers without ever crossing paths via asynchronous online gameplay. Send supplies, share safe houses and walk in the footsteps of fellow couriers to reunite civilization". 

That makes it sound like you'll be indirectly helping out other players however you can, as a kind of ghostly friendly NPC. Or something. Whatever it ends up being, that asynchronous multiplayer is likely what makes Death Stranding a "strand game", so you can bet that your interactions with other players are going to be important not only to the gameplay, but to the story as well. Just prepare to expect the unexp𓆏ected, ok?
