The story of Death Stranding Director’s Cut focuses on players reconnecting a fractured society after a tragic “Death Stranding” event. This event opened a doorway between the living and the dead, allowing creatures from the afterlife to roam a fallen world darkened by a gloomy society. Playing as Sam Bridges, players carry the disconnected remnants of humanity’s future in their hands, embarking on a mission to deliver hope to humanity by connecting the last survivors of a shattered America.
With the DIRECTOR’S CUT, it will be a definitive way to experience DEATH STRANDING as will it feature many new weapons and locations to explore. The features players can look forward to are:
- The new Ruined Factory location – a treacherous underground compound packed with many dangers.
- A new delivery assist from cargo catapults and ramp to a stabilizer with a thruster to assist with cargo weight and reduce the impact of landing when jumping from high areas.
- Melee combat expanded to include more moves such as dropkicks, a Maser Gun to stun enemies and short-circuit vehicles temporally with electricity, and a shooting range to find the right weapon loadout for you.
- A new racetrack for players to race and compete in a time-attack competition against players connected online.
- Riding the Buddy Bots to traverse the wastelands with ease.
Death Stranding Director’s Cut is available on Xbox Series X, S, and Windows PC today with a 50 percent discount. To purchase the game, players can visit the Xbox Store, and for tips and guides, they can visit the Kojima Productions page.
