«¿Deberíamos habernos conectado?»
EN“Should We Have Connected?”
Kojima tenía escrita la historia de Death Stranding 2 antes de la pandemia, pero tras vivirla la reescribió entera desde cero; el mensaje del tráiler pasó a ser una pregunta, «Should We Have Connected?», que resume el replanteamiento de la idea de conexión en la secuela.
«I had the story written before the pandemic, but after experiencing the pandemic I just rewrote the whole story from scratch. I also didn't want to predict any more future, so I rewrote it»; «At the end of the teaser trailer, a message that says 'Should We Have Connected?' That's the crux of what we're trying to articulate in the sequel».
