One of Death Stranding?s defining characteristics is the way it will handle its asynchronous multiplayer mode, which director Hideo Kojima has stated will be an all-new experience. From what we?ve pieced together, it seems that Death Stranding will take place across different worlds or dimensions. In fact, the director has compared the game?s multiplayer to the premise of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
Thanks to a translation from Reddit user xxxjohnnygxxx, we?ve got the scoop on how Death Stranding?s multiplayer might work and how it could compare to the Spider-Verse. When specifically asked about the game?s social strand system, Kojima replied:

PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]}; admiralCookie = readAdmiralCookie();

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], []).addSize([750, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([980, 0], [[300, 250]]).build(); PB.gptStandAlone['ros_300x250_p_slot4_1567001139'] = googletag.defineSlot('/4403/cr/playstationlifestyle/ros', [[300, 250]], 'ros_300x250_p_slot4_1567001139')
.defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting('pos', 'P').setTargeting('content_detail', '0').setTargeting('kw', 'in-article').setTargeting('coppa', '0').setTargeting('site', 'playstationlifestyle');
