Death Stranding franchise has just received an unprecedented expansion: an anime series exclusive to Disney+ , scheduled for 2027. The announcement was made during the Disney+ Originals Preview at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, where Hideo Kojima , the creator of the work, took the stage alongside director Takayuki Sano . In addition, the event revealed new concept art by Ilya Kuvshinov , renowned for Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 .
Set in the game Death Stranding Isolations series will present a completely new story, independent of the other games. Meanwhile, production will be handled by the Japanese studio E&H Production , which is adopting a traditional 2D style to bring the project to life — a choice that reinforces the emotional and melancholic tone characteristic of the franchise's post-apocalyptic world.
The story follows a young man and a young woman who try to confront their own loneliness on a continent devastated by a phenomenon known as Death Stranding . In this setting, the souls of the dead cross the physical plane, causing explosions that extinguish everything around them. Furthermore, the plot introduces new characters: an old man obsessed with a particular kind of "salvation," a warrior seeking to establish a world of eternal combat, a boy who harbors hatred for Sam Bridges, and a girl who embraces her own solitude.
