Kojima Productions and animation studio Line Mileage have announced that they’re collaborating on an upcoming animated film set in the universe of Death Stranding.
Screenwriter Aaron Guzikowski is attached to the project, which is now in active development. Guzikowski is known as the creator of acclaimed HBO Max sci-fi series Raised By Wolves, as well as dark 2013 thriller Prisoners from director Denis Villeneuve.
The film will have an original story, rather than following the events of the 2019 game.
“I love the world of Death Stranding, it’s so creatively freeing, so beautifully dark and yet hopeful,” Guzikowski said in a statement. “I’m so excited and honored that Hideo Kojima, whose work I’ve long admired, has invited me to dwell within his creation, to birth new stories into this fertile, mind-bending universe.”
Line Mileage is a relatively new animation and post-production house, with members of its leadership team having worked on Netflix animated shows like Castlevania, Blood of Zeus, and Tomb Raider.
The animated project is totally separate from A24’s plans to adapt Death Stranding for the big screen, with A Quiet Place: Day One director Michael Sarnoski attached to that film.
Sequel Death Stranding 2: On the Beach launches on June 26, 2025 for PlayStation 5.
