Further rumours have surfaced suggesting that the Death Stranding: Extended Edition is on the way and it’s ready to be released soon.
The rumours first began to make the rounds in January 2020, after known industry insider Naftra shared a post on Resetera, suggesting that the Extended Edition is in the works for PS4 and PS5.
The rumoured Death Stranding: Extended Edition will have all the visual and performance improvements that one would expect with a re-release, especially on PS5. However, it’s also suggested that the game will come with some brand new story content.
Many hoped that the rumoured Death Stranding: Extended Edition would be announced during Sony’s February State of Play. Sadly it was not, but fans aren’t the only ones surprised with the lack of a reveal.
On the same Resetera thread from January 2020, Naftra responded to a fellow user asking when Death Stranding might be announced for PS5 [via WCCFtech].
“Who knows? It has been ready and done for a while now, though. Genuinely expected it to be revealed today,” said Naftra when asked about the State of Play.
Naftra elaborated a little further with hopes that the Death Stranding: Extended Edition might still be announced in the near future.
“I’d give it one more month maybe,” continued Naftra.
At this point, as likely as the Extended Edition might be, I will always suggest taking all unconfirmed rumours with a pinch of salt and this story is no different.
However, I do believe that the Extended Edition will be announced at some point this year. Perhaps it might take as long as this coming November which will be the two-year anniversary of when Death Stranding first released in 2019 for PS4.
