Death Stranding endte faktisk med at udspringe af Silent Hills-projektet, der naturligvis blev afsløret via det fantastiske P.T., men endte med at blive aflyst da Konami og Hideo Kojima gik hver til sit. Det rangerer stadig på mange lister på tværs af internettet over de aflyste spil folk er mest kede af at må gå glip af, men Norman Reedus er faktisk glad for at de endte med at lave Death Stranding i stedet.
I et interview med Hollywood Reporter siger Reedus, at selvom han var spændt på Silent Hills i starten, så endte det med at blive til noget bedre.
"Silent Hills had the backstory and people knew that game, knew what it was about and what it would look like. When that went away, I was bummed, but when Hideo described what we were doing next, I completely forgot about it. I was like, thank God that didn't work, because this is way better."
"I like the fact that Silent Hills didn't happen, to be honest, because I've gotten such a peek into the way he works and the way he thinks, and I'm completely blown away by this guy."
Det vides endnu ikke om Reedus og Kojima skal samarbejde igen.
