So this might be nothing, but... during a Quick Look for, of all things, Doraemon: Story of Seasons, Dan Ryckert of Giant Bomb mentions in a cagey way that's he's surprised that in this time of year with "majorly anticipated games coming out," he's found himself wanting to play an anime Harvest Moon more than "certain major games that are coming out." The way he said it very much made it come off like something he wanted to talk about but couldn't.

What's makes you think it's Death Stranding? Could be any game.
It's Dan Ryckert, a huge MGS fan.
There's really only one game we know coming out soon-ish of that is under a super strict embargo where they can scantly even hint the game. Death Stranding.
Specifically because it's Dan Ryckert, mega Metal Gear and Kojima fanboy, and I'm trying to think of any other upcoming anticipated game that he would be both playing and have to deliberately cagey about mentioning any details about it. I'm like 99% sure that Dan is playing it because in another video yesterday, he and Jeff Bakalar from CNET were mentioning some kind of contentious talk they had the other day about... something, and they had to keep saying that they had to stop bringing it up because they couldn't talk about it.

Also, Dan has a kind of famous distaste for nitty gritty immersive/management elements in games. He thought Metro games having you wipe the visors was awful, RDR2 was his biggest disappointment of all time because he hated how slow paced and meticulous in the name of realism it was. Given how much elements like that play into DS's moment to moment gameplay, it's a pretty easy conclusion to come to.
:lupe:

Can we all already agree that the twist is going to be that Amelie is not a victim but really one of the masterminds of the entire malevolent plot...:stopitslime:

That Sam has something special about him and that's why they chose him for this mission where he'll have to fight against his love for Amelie to shut down the whole system and "start over" for the nation., :comeon:

I hope it's not that blatant but...
