Death Stranding... as in banishment from civilization through a black hole.
Didn't Kojima himself say the name refers to a sea animal getting stranded on the beach and dying?maybe more litteral.. as in stranded in death

How's this for a metaphor-- in the trailer they take his baby...
Same way Konami took MGS.
The 5 figures in the sky must have some biblical meaning, like angels or demons or something.
Reedus was sent there to die, or got stuck trying to escape something.
Getting lots of Evangelion and Angels Egg (weirdest anime ever) vibes!
Yeah, he has. He hasn't been saying "Fire me and turn it into pachinko", though.But hasn't Kojima been saying he wanted off MGS for over a decade?
Sometimes more than one

Would have made more sense if they "seals" around his neck would be 7 in total. not six
The logos on them posters seem like the 'Stranding' part might not be the meaning to be stranded somewhere, but strands as in threads?

It just clicked in my head that the "Stranding" in "Dead Stranding" might have something to do with all of the black strands of stuff laying all around and also present in the poster pics...
Makes sense. But I do also wonder about the black strands of stuff all over the place. I mean I wonder how everyone is pronouncing the title.
A. Death -pause- stranding. Where stranding is the verb. IE: Death is stranding something.
B. Death stranding. Where Death is the adjective and stranding is the noun. IE: Strands of death.
I'm sure I'm missing a few combinations but it's really late here lol.
Perhaps it's a combination of both that would explain the dead stranded whales and sea creatures and the black strands of stuff that looks like is attached to them?... Man I haven't been this intrigued about a game in years lol.
Yeah, I had the same thoughts earlier.
An interesting analysis of the trailer

Still waiting for yongyea's detailed analysis and maybe more of pythonselkan's crazy conspiracies.
Yeah, I had the same thoughts earlier.
Like an umbilical cord that induces death, rather than nurturing the life of an organism?Yes! I started thinking of it like "B" in my post above. Definitely something to do with the cords coming from the dead creatures, not to mention the cord initially linking Reedus and the child.
Putting the emphasis on "Death" makes it sound like a composite-verb, like a "Death Strand" is a concept, and "Death Stranding" is carrying it out as an action.
... Makes it even more creepy.

So after reading more on stuff that's coming out it looks like this involves stuff like Black Holes possibly?
Kojima going hard sci-fi isn't he?
This wouldn't surprise me. He's mentioned many times that 2001: A Space Odyssey is his favourite film, or at least one of them.
Man I hope he does. I would love to see what Kojima does in a full on hard sci-fi game. It could be crazy as hell if he doesn't have any kind of constraints like he's had with the Metal Gear Universe
Let's not forget Zone of the Enders! Never forget Zone of the Enders.He's dabbled in sci-fi before with games like Snatcher and Policenauts. Snacher is heavily inspired by Blade Runner and Policenauts is essentially a sci-fi version of Lethal Weapon.
Metal Gear is pretty scifi as well. I mean, giant robots, cyborgs and whatnot.
Didn't Kojima himself say the name refers to a sea animal getting stranded on the beach and dying?
That's like ink running. He had an ink-like substance on his hands. That symbolism means something, but who knows what.
I 100%'d it just a few weeks ago, it's a great game. Do play it.I love Kojima... man I really need to get around to MGSV, all the Gaf negativity around that game put me off, but I gots to play it now anyways
Wow I didn't notice until I looked closely, but Mark Cerny is Technical Producer.
Yep, and talk about out of nowhere. Now we all get the Knack sequel we deserve...
In all seriousness though, that is pretty sweet..! I just saw that earlier today too and blinked twice to make sure. Dream team-up!

Popular GAF opinion is that it's at worst a fantastic game that very easily could have been among the best ever made. The negativity largely comes from some clunky narrative decisions, publisher fuckery and some awkward gawking at a dumb character.I love Kojima... man I really need to get around to MGSV, all the Gaf negativity around that game put me off, but I gots to play it now anyways
the picture above is from a video of galveston beach after a large oil spill in the gulf of mexico. notice the gray discolored sand and how the oil fills up the hole, similar to how the oil filled up the hand prints on the sand in the trailer.
a live stranding is a form of mass stranding where multiple whales or dolphins are stranded on the beach. but are still alive. so a death stranding must mean when multiple dead whales or dolphins get stranded on a beach. this is important to my theory because after the bp oil spill, many whales were killed and washed up on beaches.
this next theory is really pushing it but i think it’s feasible. what if there was an oil spill that took place in the world of death stranding which wiped out the entire ocean population? or maybe even the entire world was ended because of this? maybe the aliens kojima was talking about caused it?
