Will Death Stranding 2 be a PlayStation exclusive
The well-known insider Dusk Golem spoke on the Death Stranding 2 issue, a game that has recently returned to the rumors, claiming that it is certainly an exclusive PlayStation and perhaps the latest linked to an agreement signed between Kojima Productions and Sony. br>The question would exclude the idea of a Death Stranding 2 proposed exclusively to Google Stadia and then canceled by Phil Harrison and associates: probably the latter - if it existed - was another game by Hideo Kojima for the Google cloud gaming, but it could not have been the sequel to Death Stranding, as this has always been intended as an exclusive PlayStation console.
Death Stranding 2 will therefore certainly be an exclusive console for PS5 (not we know at the moment if it is also foreseen on PS4), precisely because it would be part of an exclusive agreement that was signed between Kojima Productions and Sony.
This agreement included two games and, according to the insider Dusk Golem, the last of these would be Death Stranding 2, currently known internally under the code name Ocean.
According to this information , the agreement therefore provided for two exclusive games and would therefore end with the launch of the new chapter in development. The insider claims that the parties must discuss a possible extension of the agreement or its natural forfeiture: if the latter were the chosen option, Death Stranding 2 could be Hideo Kojima's last game exclusively on PlayStation, unless further new agreements, which would also coincide with the fact that Kojima Productions is working on a game for PC and Xbox with Xbox Game Studios, as we also saw at the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase last June.

Death Stranding 2 May Be Kojima’s Last PlayStation-Exclusive Game
Earlier today, rumors started spreading that Kojima Productions had been making an exclusive follow-up to Death Stranding for Google Stadia, but it had been canceled early into development. While there are several reasons for that rumor to be disputed, one insider is adamant that Death Stranding 2 was always going to be a Sony game and that the nature of this contract means it could also be the last PlayStation-exclusive game from Kojima, at least for now.
Kojima Productions is yet to confirm they are making Death Stranding 2, but leaks from people like protagonist Sam Porter Bridges actor Norman Reedus suggest the game is in active development. As the Death Stranding IP is owned by Sony and not by Kojima Productions, the sequel will likely be the second game that is included in the multi-game contract the two companies signed quite a while ago, at least according to insider Dusk Golem anyway (thanks Reddit). Aside from the new information that the game is apparently codenamed Ocean, no other details about death stranding 2 were revealed.
The more interesting bit of the claim is that Sony and Kojima Productions have a multi-game contract that has so far produced Death Stranding and is due to yield another game. Regardless of whether that game is Death Stranding 2 or not, the contract is due to end once the second game has been released. At the moment, Sony and Kojima Productions are apparently in negotiations on whether to extend or renew this contract or to just let it expire. If the contract isn’t renewed, Death stranding 2 could be the last Playstation-exclusive game we get from Kojima Productions, especially as the studio has a deal with Microsoft to “create a video game for Xbox like no one has ever experienced before“. So far, neither Kojima Productions, Sony, nor Google have commented on the rumors.
