Kojima Productions has unveiled new footage from Death Stranding Isolations, its upcoming animated television series based on the world of Hideo Kojima's acclaimed video game franchise.
The teaser and accompanying promotional artwork were shared on October 30, 2026, offering a new look at the production ahead of its planned 2027 release on Disney+.
The footage introduces a disturbing atmosphere surrounding a young girl who encounters a dark, threatening presence. The accompanying imagery emphasizes the isolation and danger central to the franchise's world.
Death Stranding Isolations was originally announced in November 2025. Rather than retelling the events of the games, the series follows different characters confronting the consequences of the Death Stranding phenomenon.
Its story takes place in the same universe as the games, where the boundary between life and death has been disrupted and human connections have become essential to survival.
Hideo Kojima serves as executive producer, while Takayuki Sano directs the anime at E&H production. Ilya Kuvshinov is responsible for the original character designs.
The series is being produced using traditional hand-drawn 2D animation, distinguishing its visual approach from the games' cinematic presentation.
The new teaser represents the latest stage in Kojima Productions' expansion of Death Stranding beyond video games. A separate animated film project, Death Stranding Mosquito, is also in development and should not be confused with this Disney+ series.
An exact premiere date and full episode count for Death Stranding Isolations have not been confirmed in the reviewed announcements.
