Hideo Kojima is one of the biggest names in gaming. His latest project Death Stranding, which is his first title under his new studio Kojima Productions, has become an enigma wrapped in a riddle resting on a plate of overwhelming anticipation. Kojima and his team have released very little in terms of the upcoming title, other than a couple of vague trailers and a minuscule amount of details. With Kojima’s track record, we as gamers have complete faith in his ability to deliver a unique game with an extraordinary twist, so whenever any news comes from the gaming icon, we celebrate. The latest tidbit lies within a tweet from the legend himself, letting fans know that the Death Stranding graphics engine is undergoing tests.

There isn’t anything in Kojima’s tweet that hints at plot, characters, or setting, but the important takeaway from the post is that the game is moving along. Furthermore, the game’s director is satisfied with the way it’s coming along. For those unaware, Hideo Kojima is known to be a perfectionist when it comes to the projects he works on, so the fact that he is tweeting positive tweets about current test phases means that we’re getting closer to the finished product. We still have absolutely no idea when it will be released, but at least the Death Stranding graphics engine is holding up.

Today I was able to see the good result of testing DS. I think I will have a good sleep tonight.
