Fans Say Hideo Kojima Predicts Corona Through Death Stranding
The world is currently still struggling with the coronavirus or COVID-19. Although there have been several countries that have succeeded in making the drug, many other countries still have to hide from the severity of this epidemic.
Call it like in Italy, their government has been in lockdown for almost two weeks but the number of positive citizens is still rising. Meanwhile, Indonesia itself is also trying to make this epidemic subside soon. The government through President Joko Widodo’s appeal said that we must self-isolate or #at home by working from home, studying from home and worshiping at home.
Regarding self-isolation, many gamers say that the famous game maker, Hideo Kojima has predicted through his latest game. Is that true? Let’s see the review below.
Death Stranding Prediction of Social Distancing
Kojima does not only include a very deep story for the game, but also hidden messages that target real-life problems. His newest game, Death Stranding, was released on November 8, 2022. This game tells about an apocalyptic phenomenon called Death Stranding, which causes survivors to hide in isolated colonies and receive supplies from the main character, Sam Bridges.
Meanwhile, the first case of COVID-19 was reported in December 2022. If we draw a common thread, of course the story of this scary game is related to the current state of the world.
As we said above, many countries are practicing social distancing and staying at home to avoid the spread of the virus. Just like Death Stranding, many people are afraid to go out in public for fear for their lives.
In Death Stranding, the rain of “Timefall” and “Beach Things” causes the rest of life to panic and stay safe indoors. Kojima always puts some resemblance to the real world in his games, but the whole plot of Death Stranding makes players wonder if Kojima really did, predict the coronavirus.
Not the first
For those of you who don’t know, this isn’t the first time Kojima has predicted events in the real world. In 1990’s Metal Gear Solid 2, he predicted the spread of misinformation, unmanned military and government surveillance. It looks accurate after this game has been released for almost 20 years.
Meanwhile, the events of Death Stranding took less than six months to fully relate to current events. This also makes many gamers return to play to better understand its relationship to the real world.
Are you surprised to read the news this time? Since there’s no confirmation from Kojima, it’s very likely that Death Stranding’s story just happens to be the same as it’s currently happening. Therefore, we remind you to stay healthy and wash your hands often. Don’t forget to come back to visit us to get the latest game information.
