announced the project this week. The animated feature will target adult audiences, similar to recent animated adaptations like the Predator anthology series on Hulu and the upcoming John Wick prequel."I love the world of Death Stranding. It's so creatively freeing, so beautifully dark and yet hopeful," Guzikowski said in a statement. The writer, known for creating HBO's sci-fi series Raised by Wolves and penning films like Prisoners, expressed excitement about creating new stories in Kojima's "fertile, mind-bending universe."Line Mileage brings solid credentials to the project.

The game also featured performances from Léa Seydoux, Mads Mikkelsen, and Guillermo del Toro.Kojima first hinted at the anime adaptation earlier this year during an interview with Vogue Japan, mentioning he was working on both film projects simultaneously.
