An official press release confirms plans for a PC edition of the
DEATH
STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT mentioned
this morning. Word
is this will arrive in the (northern) spring via both the
Epic Games Store and
Steam, offering PC enhancements including higher frame rates, a new photo
mode, and ultra-wide monitor support. The announcement is quite similar to what
was posted this morning, though it does correct the typo in Neil Ralley's name
and puts the title in proper eye-scorching all caps:
505 Games, global
publisher of the PC version of Hideo Kojima’s genre-defying DEATH STRANDING in
partnership with KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS, revealed today at the CES 2022 trade show
it will also publish the DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT. DEATH STRANDING
DIRECTOR’S CUT on PC will launch simultaneously on both the Epic Games Store and
Steam in spring 2022.
DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT is the definitive DEATH STRANDING experience,
expanded for PC, and will, for the first time, incorporate Intel’s new Xe Super
Sampling (XeSS) graphics technology for an enhanced experience for PC players.
XeSS uses machine learning to enable players to explore the unique environment
of DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT in high graphical detail along with elevated
performance.
Neil Ralley, President of 505 Games said “We’re delighted to announce our
partnership with Intel for DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT on PC. DEATH STRANDING
has been a hugely popular game with PC players and we’re excited to see how
Intel’s new XeSS technology will enhance player experiences for DIRECTOR’S CUT.”
DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT on PC includes HIGH FRAME RATE, PHOTO MODE and
ULTRA-WIDE MONITOR SUPPORT. DIRECTOR’S CUT also includes cross-over content from
Valve Corporation’s HALF-LIFE series and CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077.
Developed by Kojima Productions, DEATH STRANDING was one of the most anticipated
projects of the last decade. Starring Norman Reedus as Sam Bridges, the game
takes place in the near future, where mysterious explosions have rocked the
planet, setting off a series of supernatural events known as the Death
Stranding. With spectral creatures plaguing the landscape, and the planet on the
verge of a mass extinction, it’s up to Sam to journey across the ravaged
wasteland to save mankind from impending annihilation.
The groundbreaking experience from legendary game creator Hideo Kojima also
features the acting and voice talents of Mads Mikkelsen and Léa Seydoux.
