The pieces of Death Stranding are finally coming together thanks to a new ‘Briefing’ trailer. Clocking in at about 7 and a half minutes, the latest trailer from Kojima Productions acts as a bit of a primer to the highly anticipated 49-minute-long trailer that’s been getting teased all over the place this past few weeks. The ‘Briefing’ video takes place in a single room, with characters Amelie and Die-Hardman providing our protagonist Sam with a bit of an info dump as to why he should join their cause to connect everyone across the ‘United Cities of America.’ Check out the trailer below:

There’s a lot to unpack here, though I’ll let viewers do that themselves for those that don’t want anything spoiled ahead of the game’s release. In addition to the new trailer, Kojima-san released a new key art for Death Stranding by Pablo Uchida, referred to as a “genius painter” by the game creator himself. Here it is in all its glory:

TGS now started. I’ll see you guys at the stage! Here’s new image of DEATH STRANDING by Pablo Uchida, the genius painter whom I even feel jealous of his talent. Title design by Kyle Cooper. We have a strong strand by respecting each other. ??? pic.twitter.com/gGyBhWSv5S

As for when we can expect the next footage to arrive, it should be airing within the next few hours over on Japan, so we’ll have the full trailer available once it surfaces. Death Stranding launches exclusively for the PlayStation 4 on November 8.
