Death Stranding recently sold 5 million as well. Absolutely insane management by Sony not greenlighting sequels for these two games right away. Had they begun dev on those games right away they wouldve already been in dev for 2+ years with a potential release maybe next year. now, we are looking at 2025 at best from both Kojima and Sony bend.
I remember when they greenlit an Uncharted sequel even though it sold 111k in NA in its first month and topped out at 650k. Now, 5-10 million isnt enough. 100+ goty awards for Death Stranding isnt enough. Absolutely shocking display of incompetency by Sony's upper management. And I am looking right at Herman and Jim here. They both took charge around 2019 and thats when these decisions were made.
I mean, I really want to see more from Kojima, but not Death Stranding 2. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely loved the game, but the ending felt as definitive as you can get IMHO. Would just feel weird to tack on a “but it wasn’t really over!” sequel. And playing a deliverer who isn’t Sam just wouldn’t carry the same weight to me so I also wouldn’t want a prequel or side story.
