Hideo Kojima may not have made it to The Game Awards 2018, but that hasn?t stopped him from dropping last minute Death Stranding teases this year. The latest of such hints appeared as a New Year message in the recent issue of Weekly Famitsu. Said message is ambiguous and may point towards Death Stranding?s potential launch window. Or, it may not mean anything at all. Essentially, Kojima?s message seems on-brand with everything else involving Death Stranding.
