10 Upcoming Video Games That Will DEFINITELY Be Cross-Gen

9. Death Stranding

Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Kojima Productions

Death Stranding might be the most anticipated game from a debut studio ever. This is almost entirely down to Hideo Kojima, who’s helming the project after his split from Konami in 2015.

Kojima, the bonkers brain behind Metal Gear Solid, is a bonafide legend amongst game developers. It’s worth noting that he left Konami due to a lack of creative control; Metal Gear Solid was him being reined in, so just how out there Death Stranding might be is anyone’s guess.

It boasts a heady mix of Hollywood stars and video game veterans, with Norman Reedus, Lea Seydoux, Mads Mikkelsen, Troy Baker, Emily O’Brien and Tommie Earl Jenkins all lending their voice and likeness to the game. That cast plus Kojima’s influence means there’ll be a lot of attention from the get go, and the momentum suggests it’ll either be a PS5 launch title or release the quarter after.

Kojima himself noted that the game was slightly behind schedule in March this year, but he is known to be a perfectionist. With new ideas like out of body experiences, rain which causes ageing and the temporal connection between life and death all featuring, he’s got some lofty experiences to juggle.
