Death Stranding is easily one of the most exciting games of the rest of 2019.

We've been waiting what feels like forever to see Kojima return, and it seems like he's going to be doing it in full-force with Death Stranding. You've seen the babies, right?

All of this Kojima weird-ness and lack of official gameplay footage has led to Death Stranding feeling like a big mystery. We still haven't actually seen how it plays after all.

However, Death Stranding isn't as big of a mystery as it may at first seem. Although there's certainly a lot of things left for players to discover, the trailers and marketing have actually done a great job of subtly explaining and hinting at things that most other games would just spell out.

As it turns out, there's actually quite a lot that we do know about Death Stranding.

Half of the fun of Death Stranding is speculation and trying to piece everything together, but if it ends up being anything like what we think it will be, then we're in for a great time this November.

10. The Death Stranding Was An Event

Death Stranding may just sound like a cool indie title, but it actually has greater meaning within the world of the game itself.

What exactly the Death Stranding is has been hinted at throughout the game's trailers so far, with dialogue from the characters sort of spelling everything out for us.

The third trailer for the game starts with Sam reminiscing about the big bang, before talking about "the next explosion", which is clearly a reference to the Death Stranding.

It's this explosion that seems to have created all of the weirdness we see in the game. Upside-down rainbows, BT's and more all seem to be an effect of the Death Stranding, and it also seems to have torn America itself apart.

Using the math from Heartman's deaths in the latest trailer, we know that the Death Stranding happened ten years ago, meaning the world has been like this for quite some time.

Although we don't quite know everything yet, we can rest easy in knowing what Death Stranding refers to.
