Ved The Game Awards afslørede Hideo Kojima som bekendt en ny trailer for Death Stranding, som afslørede at Mads Mikkelsen har en stor rolle at spille i det kommende spil.
Men dette var ikke den eneste afsløring ved traileren, for her blev det desuden annonceret hvilken grafikmotor spillet vil benytte.
Der har nemlig været tale om både Frostbite og Unreal Engine, men det er i stedet en helt ny grafikmotor kaldet "Decima Engine", som er baseret på den teknologi Guerilla Games bruger i Horizon: Zero Dawn.
Sonys Mark Cerny udtalte sig om dette valg ved et panel ved PlayStation Experience:
"I think what's notable about Guerrilla Games' technology, is that it's not just graphics technology. It's a great number of things. You design a world, you script AI for the enemies. It's a very deep and intuitive toolset.
"I have absolutely no idea where it's going to end. The one thing we know, as games companies that work on technology, is that it's going to continue to evolve and get better. I could not hazard a guess as to where they're going to take it."
