Showing off this monster (it sounds like the masked man calls it "Biggie" at one point) is also potentially Kojima's way of reassuring fans that Death Stranding isn't going to be a walking simulator. The last major trailer for E3 2018 was meant to show off the game world and graphics, which meant we got to watch Adam walking around a lot. There's a brief moment where we saw him whip out an actual gun, but no "action" has been shown off so far. With a monster like the one seen above showing up, it seems unlikely Adam is going to be able to simply walk his way out of a confrontation.<doc-sep>Death Stranding TGS 2018 trailer reveals Troy Baker as the man in the golden mask Tokyo Game Show 2018 attendees were treated with a special appearance from Hideo Kojima and a nugget of Death Stranding news. TGS 2018 is officially over, but Hideo Kojima didn't want to leave his adoring fans empty-handed. Kojima Productions shared some exciting news today that voice actor Troy Baker will be in Death Stranding playing the role of the man in the golden mask. In the video posted to social media, Baker's character takes his golden mask off and summons some kind of massive beast for Norman Reedus' character to defeat. Please take a look. Today's reveal is just one more nugget of information about Death Stranding. The game has no release date, and no one is really sure what the core gameplay mechanics will be, but Troy Baker is an industry veteran having worked with Kojima as the voice of Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid 5. Today's news from TGS 2018 is very exciting for fans of Kojima. We can only hope that more details will continue to emerge as Death Stranding's release date eventually materializes. Be sure to follow the official Kojima Productions English Twitter account for more updates from this highly-anticipated game.<doc-sep>Kojima Productions revealed a new trailer and casting information for the studio’s upcoming Sony exclusive, Death Stranding, to a massive crowd at Tokyo Game Show 2018. The trailer, which clocks in at just over a minute, raises more questions than it answers. Prolific actor Troy Baker will play the role of a mysterious antagonist who wears a golden skull mask and apparently has the power to manipulate the oily ghouls that roam the game’s planet. In the trailer, the character uses the mask to conjure a beast that is Bloodborne-esque. Why is this fellow so angry? How do these deathly spirits merge Voltron-style into hellbeasts? What genre is this game anyway? Along with the trailer, the studio announced actor Tommie Earl Jenkins will appear in the game and showed new art for characters played by Jenkins, Baker, Guillermo del Toro, Léa Seydoux and Lindsay Wagner. 2nd batch of Death Stranding character art pic.twitter.com/zHQNKMKg3F — Nibel (@Nibellion) September 23, 2018 Death Stranding is being developed for PlayStation 4. Its release date is unannounced.<doc-sep>It's been a while since we saw new footage of Death Stranding. Today, fans of Hideo Kojima were treated to a brand new Tokyo Game Show 2018 trailer titled 'The Man in the Golden Mask'. The trailer is entirely focused on introducing a new, mysterious character - the one played by Troy Baker. He seems to enjoy creating trouble for Sam, the main character played by Norman Reedus, and his currently unnamed companion. This trouble takes the form of a rather massive monster summoned by The Man in the Golden Mask himself. Days of Play 2021 Offers Deals on PS5 Hits like Demon’s Souls, Spider-Man: Miles Morales Sadly, the trailer ends before any combat is shown. Perhaps we could get to see that, or at least more Death Stranding footage, between the PlayStation Experience and The Game Awards events (both due in December). A couple of months ago, Hideo Kojima talked about the secrecy surrounding this project as a reaction to the 'social network era'. In this time, people just want immediate answers, but not only answers, they also want to know what they feel. This is good, this is bad. This is a game I should like. This is a game I shouldn’t like. They want answers for what they should think. It’s like a math problem, where knowing the answer is not that important. The important thing is the process of getting to the answer. I don’t want to take away the most fun part for the players. Death Stranding doesn't have a release date yet and is probably still a while away from its release, but we'll keep you apprised of any noteworthy news and rumor.<doc-sep>
Hideo Kojima had downplayed the chance of there being much new to show of Death Stranding at the Tokyo Games Show, but we did get something in a short trailer with a new character revealed. The trailer sees Norman Reedus’ Sam happen upon a man with a Southern drawl, dressed in similar garb (including that baby in a jar strapped to his front) and a striking gold skull mask. That man, dubbed ‘Man in the Golden Mask’, doesn’t seem like a big fan of Sam considering the ‘present’ he leaves him. Taking off his faceplate and driving it into the oily ground, he summons a huge oil beast that emits a guttural roar. So I guess boss fights are a thing for Death Stranding. The new antagonist is played by Troy Baker, who played Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. He joins Tommie Earl Jenkins, who was also announced as a cast member at TGS 2018. His previous work includes World of Warcraft, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, and Law and Order: True Crime. Personally speaking, he’s most recognizable as the voice of Ubercorn in British children’s TV show Go-Jetters. That wasn’t all though. A Hideo Kojima game just doesn’t feel complete without gorgeous character art by Yoji Shinkawa and we got exactly that during the PlayStation Booth panel for the game. We’re not any closer to knowing exactly how Death Stranding will play, but always nice to see Kojima get freaky. Death Stranding will arrive on PS4 at some point in the future, but a release date is yet to be announced.
