Kojima Productions has released a new teaser and some additional story details for Death Stranding Isolations, an upcoming animated series based on Hideo Kojima’s acclaimed game. The series is set to launch on Disney+ in 2027, and now we have our best look yet at what’s poised to be one of the most stunning anime of the year. Check it out below:

The series is set in the world of Death Stranding, though it will tell a completely new story unconnected to those of the two games. Traditional, hand-drawn 2D animation is used throughout, with the series being brought to life by E&H Production’s top animators.

Per Kojima Productions: “Somewhere in North America, just as Sam Bridges walks through the continent in order to save America, the someones are also trying to deal with their isolation in their own way. An old man trying to realize salvation through ways outside of the connection advocated by Bridges. A female warrior who tries to kickstart a world of constant fighting. A boy with a grudge against Bridges. A girl who embraces loneliness. On the precipice of the end of humanity and the world, their fates and hopes converge, as another story of Death Stranding begins. And now, comes another explosion… ”

Hideo Kojima serves as an executive producer, and the series will be directed by Takayuki Sano, with original character designs by Ilya Kuvshinov. Look forward to Death Stranding Isolations in 2027.
