Unveiled during the Summer Game Fest 2021, the Director's Cut of Death Stranding returned to the protagonist during the State of Play last Thursday. Through his Twitter account, Kojima wanted to share a reflection on the term "Director's Cut". In this regard, he stated that "A Director's Cut of a film is a further modified version of a shorter edition that was released reluctantly because the director had no say in the editing field, or because the duration of the film it had to be reduced ”.
A situation, continues the father of Metal Gear, which does not suit the one concerned at all. In fact, his message continues: “In the game, we don't talk about elements cut from the original, but about contents that have been specially produced to be added to this. Director's Plus? In short, as far as I'm concerned, I don't like to call it Director's Cut ”. The contents of Death Stranding: Director's Cut were produced after the release of the title. This is why Kojima would prefer a more accurate expression, such as "Director's Cut".
