Whether it will continue on the narrative told in the first game or take on a completely new set of characters remains to be seen, but the fact that it is in negotiations is a good sign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There have been rumors that Kojima Productions has some sort of partnership with Microsoft for future releases. Since Kojima&#8217;s company is his own to do with what he&#8217;d like, he has the freedom to bounce between any company he wishes. The first Death Stranding originally started as a PlayStation exclusive, though that barrier widened <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2020\/12\/17\/cyberpunk-2077-invades-death-stranding-with-pc-exclusive-new-crossover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to include PC post-launch<\/a>. Nothing about a partnership with Team Green has been formally announced, however, so we&#8217;re keeping this firmly in the rumor pile for now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>Are you excited for a potential Death Stranding 2?
