If there is any game that feels prime to play in 2020,Death Strandingwould definitely be it, with the 2019 title from Hideo Kojima having officially hit its one year anniversary after release. The once mysterious title from Kojima made its mark as one of the most striking and unusual games to release in this generation, and one fan took to creating his own take on the game to celebrate it.
OnYouTube, Raxy (Twitter) shared a live-action fan film to celebrate the one year anniversary ofDeath Stranding. The nearly minute-and-a-half long video features him in costume as Sam Porter Bridges–the game’s protagonist played by Norman Reedus–exploring various terrain with cargo and BB in tow, alongside a couple shots of him using the odradek to scout out for BTs. Of course, it’s also set to music that would feel right at home in the game itself.

After years of perplexing teasers,Death Strandingfinally released on July 31, 2025 for the PS4, marking Kojima’s first title since his departure from Konami. Overall the game received positive (but slightly mixed) impressions with its unorthodox gameplay and a surprisingly emotional story and performances. Its PS4 debut was followed byits arrival on PC this past summer, which introduced support for ultrawide monitors, enhanced resolutions and higher frame rates, and a brand new Photo Mode to capture and share in-game screenshots.
Hideo Kojima and the rest of his teamhave also been celebrating the anniversary of the game this weekon social media and elsewhere. Given that this was such a passion project for Kojima and company it’s not a huge surprise to see them share the love they have for this project, and for now, we’ll have to wait and seewhat they might have in store for the future.
Death Strandingis available now on PS4 and PC.
