Today, it was announced by Kojima Productions that the PC port of Death Stranding will be delayed. Initially, the game was scheduled to debut on June 2 on digital game distribution platforms Epic Games Store and Steam. However, due to the forced labor of employees in their homes as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreaks, the studio decided to delay the release of the title to the platform.
According to Kojima Productions, the current demand for Home Office work from its employees, coupled with the temporary closure of the studio's office, ended up delaying the release of Death Strading for PC. Check out the post made on the social network Twitter with the announcement from the game developers below:
"Following the temporary closure of KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS, we've had to delay the PC release of DEATH STRANDING to July 14, 2020 to allow for more development time amid current work-from-home orders. Thank you all for your patience and continued support !"

- KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS (Eng) (@ KojiPro2015_EN) April 21, 2020Death Stranding has won several awards since its release on Playstation 4, such as Game Developers Choice, DICE and BAFTA. Even with the prizes, it is worth emphasizing (from my own experience with the title): it is a highly recommended game, which brings many emotions, surprises and challenges, but requires a little patience and wisdom to contemplate what the game wants to show (check it out) the Death Stranding review here).
