A24 is producing a Death Stranding film, with Hideo Kojima working on an anime adaptation. Kojima, a renowned video game designer and creator of the Metal Gear franchise, aspired to work in film before becoming a famous video game designer. A Death Stranding film is set to be released in 2027, but he has even bigger plans for the game, including a new anime adaptation.

Kojima discussed closing the boundary between movies and games and his larger plans for Death Stranding, which include a new anime. He aims to create works that blur the line between games and movies, allowing people to mistake a game for a movie. A24 is developing Death Stranding, with Michael Sarnoski directing and Ari Aster producing.

Kojima cites the success of video game adaptations like The Last of Us and The Super Mario Bros Movie, which keep the original plot intact. He hopes to make Death Stranding in a way that can only be done as a film and win awards at the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival.
