- Death Stranding 2 has received new statistics from Hideo Kojima.
- The developer says around 80% of all players kept playing the game after completing the main story.
- He also says that Kangaroos were the most rescued animals, and zip-lines were the most popular structures used.
Death Stranding 2 has been on the market for a full month as of today. The game received exceptionally positive reviews at launch and became a major contender for Game of the Year alongside the likes of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Donkey Kong Bananza.
Hideo Kojima has also confirmed that many players have already completed the game, and he states that a large chunk of the player base continued playing even after the credits rolled.
Why it matters: Most players tend to move on from a game before completing it. Therefore, this is a major achievement for Death Stranding 2.
The director recently took to Twitter and stated that Kojima Productions has gathered a variety of data from players interacting with Death Stranding 2.
As per the studio’s findings, nearly 80% of all players continued to play the game after reaching the end of the story. This would normally be an impressive feat for any game, but it is even more interesting for a title like Death Stranding 2.
Since the franchise is known for its slower and more deliberate pacing, many players gave up on the first entry after dubbing it ‘a boring walking simulator.’ However, the statistics show that the series’ perception has changed quite a bit since 2019.
Hideo Kojima also shared statistics pertaining to certain structures, rescued animals, and signs. According to his tweet, Kangaroos were the most popular animals in the game, and gamers placed zip-lines the most frequently around the world.
Because the original Death Stranding’s reputation slowly improved over the course of its five-year lifespan, it seems the sequel has found much more success. Fans have even begun asking Kojima Productions for Xbox and PC versions of the title, showcasing anticipation extending beyond the PlayStation audience.
What do you make of these statistics from Hideo Kojima? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
