Earlier this week, the official Sport Move Twitter account was enjoying foolish buggers with their profile pic, stating that “generally we similar to a very good panorama image”. Instantly, web sleuths deduced that the panorama in query appeared suspiciously like Demise Stranding, main many to imagine it was a teaser for Kojima’s mountain climbing postal sim showing on the subscription service. And yep, they had been proper on the cash, with affirmation arriving right this moment that the BB Boys will probably be pulling into Sport Move subsequent week, on August twenty third.
Introduced by way of one other tweet that merely reads “particular supply”, the accompanying picture reveals Sam Bridges carrying a metallic case with a nifty PC Sport Move sticker slapped on the entrance that reads “Supply Affirmation: August 23, 2022”, as you may see under:

At this stage, it is at present unclear whether or not the model in query is the usual version of Demise Stranding or the newer Director’s Lower, which provides extra transportation strategies, an additional chunk of story and a Mario Kart-style race monitor to the sport, however I suppose it will not be too lengthy earlier than we discover it, August twenty third being subsequent Tuesday and all.
As you in all probability properly know by now, I’ve invested a whole lot of time in Demise Stranding over time. When it first got here to PC in 2020, I chronicled my journey throughout post-apocalyptic America with my BB Boys Street Journey photo-diary, and I even learn the official Demise Stranding novels, principally so you did not have to. I nonetheless suppose it is rad, and would strongly suggest giving it a go, if solely so you may determine whether or not travelling round a run-down United States re-establishing a nationwide web reference to a child in a jar strapped to your chest the entire time is your form of deal. And if the rumours a few Demise Stranding sequel are to be believed, you too can view this as a very good alternative to get some background prep carried out forward of time.
August twenty third is an attention-grabbing date for Demise Stranding’s arrvial on Sport Move. I am going into full hypothesis mode right here, however that is the identical day that famend Kojima fan Geoff Keighley will probably be internet hosting his Gamescom Opening Evening Reside showcase. May this be the primary of many such big-name Sport Move bulletins taking place subsequent week (with Sam Bridges delivering them, by hand, inside his sealed metallic case)? Or possibly we’ll see some form of different Kojima-related announcement at Gamescom this yr. My cash’s on the previous, personally, however we’ll discover out for positive subsequent Tuesday.
