Hideo Kojima Doesn't Want You To Call It A Death Stranding Director's Cut

Death Stranding’s Director’s Cut is on the way, but Kojima himself is not a fan of calling it that. He said on Twitter that Director’s Cut often applies more appropriately in the world of film to represent content that was cut from a movie due in part to a movie studio’s control over the production. But with Death Stranding’s Director’s Cut, Kojima pointed out that the game will feature new content not originally even planned for the base game.

“A director’s cut in a movie is an additional edit to a shortened version that was either released reluctantly because the director did not have the right to edit it, or because the running time had to be shortened,” Kojima said. “In the game, it is not what was cut, but what was additionally produced that was included. Delector’s Plus? So, in my opinion, I don’t like to call ‘director’s cut.'”
