The E3 conference is upon us. For those who are looking forward to Kojima Production’s upcoming game Death Stranding, it was announced on Wednesday that the first game for the studio will not be previewed at the event.
Apologies to our fans, Death Stranding will not be @ E3 as we are fully focused on development. Pls see me with @geoffkeighley on 6/14! pic.twitter.com/w9JfmEOqF4

According to Hideo Kojima’s tweet, the reason for this is because the studio is still fully focused on the development and sincerely apologizes to the fans that are looking forward to the game’s sneak peak. To make it up for the fans, he uploaded the official of Death Stranding in his Twitter account. It will be exclusively available for the PlayStation 4 and so far there is no estimate date of release. The game will be developed using Decima Engine by Guerilla Games.
Kojima however will be in the event and will have an E3 Coliseum panel along with Jordan Vogt-Roberts who is currently working on a film adaptation of Metal Gear Solid. Vogt-Roberts is the director of the film Kong: Skull Island.
Death Stranding’s trailer was reported to be previewed in The Game Awards 2016. The picture below shows the game’s character Guillermo del Toro wearing a lapel pin which have the word “BRIDGES” and a map of the 48 U.S. states in a spider web.
