Confirmed: Death Stranding Anime Series Coming to Disney+ in 2027

Kojima, the mastermind behind Death Stranding, has some exciting news for fans. An all-new original animated series based on the award-winning Death Stranding video game is in the works and headed to Disney+ in 2027. The series, titled Death Stranding Isolations, promises to bring a new story to life for audiences around the world.

Kojima recently announced this thrilling partnership with Disney+, alongside series director Takayuki Sano. They even shared some concept art by Ilya Kuvshinov, known for their work as character designer on Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045. The art gives us a sneak peek into what we can expect from the animation style of Death Stranding Isolations—a traditional, hand-drawn 2D format that is sure to captivate.

While we don’t have a full video teaser yet, we do have an intriguing story synopsis to mull over. Set in North America, amidst Sam Bridges’ heroic journey to save the continent, we meet a diverse cast of characters dealing with their isolation in unique ways. From an old man seeking salvation through unconventional means to a female warrior looking to ignite a world of perpetual conflict, and even a boy with a vendetta against Bridges, the plot thickens with each character’s struggles and desires intertwining.

Despite the success of Death Stranding 2, Kojima is not slowing down. In addition to Death Stranding Isolations, he is also working on a horror game called OD for Xbox Game Studios. The game’s trailer, featuring stars like Sophia Lillis and Udo Kier, has sparked curiosity and raised questions about its connection to P.T. Meanwhile, fans can look forward to a live-action Death Stranding movie that promises a fresh narrative and an animated film titled Death Stranding: Mosquito.

Exciting times lie ahead in the world of Death Stranding, with Kojima continuing to push creative boundaries and deliver innovative storytelling experiences across different mediums. Stay tuned for more updates as the Death Stranding universe expands and unfolds in new and unexpected ways.
