There’s no denying that Death Stranding was an unusual release. Following the departure of Konami, we were eager to see what Hideo Kojima was capable of with his own development studio, Kojima Productions. And, for better or for worse, Death Stranding was a boom.
Initially released exclusively for PS4, the re-releases of Death Stranding on PC and PS5 managed to boost the public image of the title, considered a cult AAA work.
A few months ago, Kojima Productions announced the development of Death Strading 2, an unconventional sequel that will be far enough from its first installment, except for a couple of details.

Death Stranding 2 music
Death Stranding was a revolutionary work in many ways. One of the most striking aspects was its soundtrack, made up of different songs by various prominent artists in the industry.
Perhaps the most emblematic theme was the one that shares its name with the game. ”Death Stranding”, composed by the British synthpop group Chvrches.
Will Chvrches repeat in Death Stranding 2? For now it is not confirmed, but one of the members of the group, Martin Doherty, has dropped it in an interview with NME.
”There is nothing official yet. We’ve talked and hinted a lot that we’d both like to collaborate again on Death Stranding 2.”
It seems that it is a matter of time. In fact, on January 11, the three members of Chvrches went to the offices of Kojima Productions, as can be seen in is tweeted by Kojima.
On that occasion, the members of Chvrches participated in Hideo Kojima’s official podcast, Brain Structurewhich you can listen to through Spotify.
”There’s kind of a flirtation going on right now. I don’t want to be turned away by saying, ‘Can we be in the game please?’ and Kojima ensuring that no. But I do not know. We continue to build a really special relationship with Hideo. And I think we got him and I think he got us. If we get the call, we’ll be there in a second,” Dogherty says.
Chvrches was one of the most prominent bands in the Death Stranding soundtrack, along with other artists and groups of level (Major Lazer or The SLP). Will they be in the sequel? It is quite likely.
