Hideo Kojima Isn’t A Fan Of The Director’s Cut Name For Death Stranding

Death Stranding Director's Cut offers more to experience in the game for those that loved Hideo Kojima's breakout title from his new video game studio. While the game itself says "director's cut" in the title, Kojima believes fans shouldn’t look at it as on. 

In a recent Twitter thread, Kojima told fans that Death Stranding's Director's Cut isn't what the definition of director's cut means, instead it's more sporadic expansions that have been filtered in for a more complete experience. "A director's cut in a movie is an additional edit to a shortened version that was either released reluctantly because the director did not have the right to edit it, or because the running time had to be shortened," he said. "In the game, it is not what was cut, but what was additionally produced that was included. Delector's Plus? So, in my opinion, I don't like to call this 'director's cut'."

Death Stranding Director's Cut is set to drop on September 24 with 60 fps on console and other enhancements made for PlayStation 5.
