Video game auteur Hideo Kojima?s first independent title is rapidly approaching its hotly anticipated launch, though fans in developer Kojima Productions? homeland of Japan currently have more reason to be excited than most. The country is currently playing host to the Death Stranding ?Social Strand Challenge,? an alternate reality game (ARG) which once solved grants players a redemption code for several exclusive PlayStation Network Avatars.
The Social Strand Challenge is, once again, exclusive to those based in Japan and challenges players to find a number of deviously hidden clues in order to figure out a secret website URL and there claim a prize. It?s a fun marketing stunt?much like the recent world record attempt for the most consecutive high fives?that also serves to maintain the air of mystery that?s been surrounding Death Stranding since it was originally announced more than three years ago now.
