Death Stranding PC release gets delayed

The upcoming release of Death Stranding for PC has been delayed after Kojima Productions announced a temporary closure of its offices in Japan.

The delay will allow employees at Kojima Productions to have more development time as they work from home due to the declared state of emergency in all of Japan to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

The PC version of Death Stranding, which was going to be on Steam and Epic Games Store on June 2, will be released on July 14, 2020.

Kojima Productions and 505 Games are working on the PC version of the title.
