Hideo Kojima, the director of Death Stranding 2, expresses his view that DLC (downloadable content) is not a popular direction due to the risk of never completing the project if one begins to develop it.

Hideo Kojima, renowned game designer, has shared his plans for the post-release updates of his latest work, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Kojima has announced that the game will receive minor updates focused on improving gameplay and accessibility, such as fixing bugs and enhancing the user interface. However, he has no intention of releasing any major DLC or expansions for the game.

Kojima believes that DLC can hinder a project from feeling complete and prefers to avoid it for Death Stranding 2. He is cautious about altering the core story or experience of his games post-release, aiming to preserve their original era and integrity.

To guide these minor updates, Kojima is analyzing player data worldwide to identify what fixes are needed and how to improve gameplay features.

Apart from Death Stranding 2, Kojima is working on a new horror game called OD with a team. He is also developing Physint, a PlayStation-exclusive title, largely by himself at the conceptual stage. Physint is expected to take five to six years to develop.

In addition to his work on Death Stranding 2 and OD, Kojima is balancing promotional activities and interviews while managing these multiple projects.

Kojima's approach to Death Stranding 2 echoes his views on George Lucas's decision to change Star Wars to all CG, which he believes should be avoided due to the era of the work.

Meanwhile, a Death Stranding movie is underway, which Kojima states is not a direct translation of the game. The movie presents a "universe that has never been seen before."

Kojima is also collaborating with comedian and filmmaker Jordan Peele on OD, which is described as "a bit risky" and "a game like no other."
