Death Stranding and Cyberpunk 2077 have joined forces.
Death Stranding is no stranger to crossover events. To celebrate the release of Half-Life: Alyx, a Headcrab and a Gravity Glove were added to the game earlier this year. It also promoted rather famous Monster Energy and Ride with Norman Reedus in-game show.
It seems like Hideo Kojima’s hiking adventure is also ready for another big collaboration.
The game’s Steam page announced that a free update to the game will celebrate the arrival of Cyberpunk 2077. It also seems like a surprisingly major content update. The patch includes “six new missions with characters and knowledge from Cyberpunk 2077”.
In addition, a new hacking capability is added to the game, allowing Porters to attack enemy machines and stop the activation of Mule sensor poles.
A lot of new cosmetics have of course been added. These include:
• Cyberpunk 2077 themed Reverse Trike vehicle with improved jumping power
• “Silver Hand” modeled after Johnny Silverhand’s robotic arm that can be equipped and used in the game
New holograms including a SAMURAI symbol board and an Atlas Trauma Team vehicle hologram for select structures
• Various fashion items including Johnny Silverhand sunglasses
You can watch a trailer for the crossover here:
This crossover appears to be exclusive to the Steam version of the game, which is currently offering a 50% discount. Sorry PlayStation users.
This collaboration is not entirely unexpected. Hideo Kojima was scanned in Cyberpunk 2077 and appears as a cameo in the game. The game even includes a BB from Death Stranding. It only seems fitting that Cyberpunk 2077 would get some support in Kojima’s own game.
