There’s still a little over a month left to go before Death Stranding lands on store shelves. The team at Kojima Productions is celebrating a milestone that will likely ensure the release date remains intact. Death Stranding has officially gone gold, meaning production is complete (for the most part) and ready for manufacturing. Hideo Kojima shared the news on his Twitter profile, alongside images of the gold master disc and a very happy Kojima Productions development team.
Check out Kojima’s post in the following tweet:

The Death Stranding crew isn’t the only one raising their glasses to a job well done. All the way from Amsterdam, Guerrilla Games joined in on the celebration, too. Kojima Productions reached out to the Horizon Zero Dawn studio, offering thanks for the support and use of the Decima Engine.
Reported we made gold to Guerilla, who provided their life value game engine to us when I had nothing back then. Can’t thank them enough! Reconfirming the connection between Amsterdam and Tokyo. pic.twitter.com/nSBuhQRJ0w

This has been a big week for Death Stranding. In addition to the game’s going gold, Sony unveiled a limited edition PS4 Pro, specially designed with Kojima’s latest in mind. The bundle, which is currently available to preorder, features an orange translucent DualShock 4, inspired by BB’s Pod.
Death Stranding will launch for the PlayStation 4 on November 8th.
