Death Stranding, the new project in the works by beloved gaming auteur Hideo Kojima, has had very little revealed about the story, gameplay, or even release window, yet the title still has Kojima followers excited. The upcoming adventure has mystified fans with its bizarre world and the big name talent featured in its cast. That said, some new trademarks are intriguing and may point to the multiplayer aspect of Death Stranding.

Twitter account Trademark_Bot recently shared new Japanese trademarks filed by Kojima Productions. The first one is rather interesting in that it makes mention of  something called a “Social Strand System.” Given the need of multiplayer modes needing some sort of framework for allowing people to communicate with each other, it’s entirely possible this system is for that specifically. The second one, “Strand Game,” could very well have something to do with the connections players will be experiencing throughout their time in Death Stranding.

What the mysterious title will contain is anyone’s guess at this point. Many industry professionals that Kojima has shown the project to have shared nothing but praise with fans, and that its concept is essentially out of this world. Norman Reedus has also spoken in the past about Death Stranding’s central themes involving connection with other people in a world compelled to create recluses. Either way, the game is still finding ways to surprise Kojima fans and make giant exclamation points appear above their heads.
