Although Death Stranding 2: Above the Beach was released this year, its development work was launched as early as 2019.In January 2020, artist Yoji Shinkawa created several draft pictures for the protagonists based on an early version of the game script (now abandoned).These sketches—which show a very different atmosphere from what we know today: Above the Beach—are recently released by Hideo Kojima, who also shared some thoughts about the rewrite of the script.

In the concept picture, Sam Bridges and Frajill are well-dressed, as if ready to enjoy the nightlife.When compared to the character's current final design, these sketches make the official version of the game appear to be more rough and tough than Kojima's original idea.

Although Kojima never intended to let Death Stranding echo the loneliness and alienation people experienced during the epidemic, its story and gameplay cycle unexpectedly resonated with players.Kojima finally decided to completely rewrite the script of "Death Stranding 2: Above the Beach" and use the first generation of games and the epidemic he experienced himself and others as a source of inspiration.

Despite the final game's critical acclaim, many fans of Kojima still hope to see the original script of Death Stranding 2: Over the Beach, or at least see more conceptual images from this development phase.Seeing Sam and Frajill in formal attire, rather than their iconic standard Bridges suits and Frajill Express leather jackets, it is hard to help but wonder whether the original script portrays a more promising future—an era in which the connected “United States City” brings a new renaissance to the United States.

We may never be able to witness Kojima’s initial vision of Death Stranding 2: Above the Beach, but he might talk about it in his “Brain Deconstruction” podcast or incorporate some elements of the original script into future work.At least, players hope to see Sam Bridges in a suit through the decorative props in the game.
