Because there remain questions about how Death Stranding?s gameplay loop will function fundamentally, it is somewhat surprising to learn about the wide range of difficulty modes. Apparently, the difficulties will start from ?Very Easy,? a step below ?Easy? designed with ?non-game-experienced Western fans? in mind. This is according to Hideo Kojima, who, along with his assistant Ayako Terashima, revealed the news in a Twitter post.
The comment about Western fans may sound condescending on Kojima?s part, but it kind of makes sense. As he explained in his Twitter post, which requires translation as it appears on his Japanese account, the involvement of actors Mads Mikkelsen, Norman Reedus, and Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn changes things. No one can be too sure of this at present, but there may be non-gamers who pick up Death Stranding just because they?re Norman Reedus or Mads Mikkelsen fans. Therefore, the ?Very Easy? difficulty is in place to accommodate the inexperience of these potential consumers.
