Wednesday’s Gamescom Opening Night Live closed with an extended look at the upcoming Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, giving players a look at a ton of new items, including a jetpack-like exoskeleton that helps make deliveries even faster. The game is still coming to PlayStation 5 on September 24.

The extended trailer gave a detailed look at a few of the new items, chief among them being a new jetpack that has thrusters that allow players to glide or slow themselves down after leaping off a cliff. The Buddy Bot — a robot that allows you to carry more cargo or will even carry you — was shown in greater detail, as well as a new weapon training area that includes virtual combat encounters with enemies. This will allow players to test out the new items and melee moves in a safer environment.
These are just a few of the items coming exclusively to the Director’s Cut and the full trailer for these items can be found below:
There are also new story-based deliveries in a mysterious facility, but Kojima Productions didn’t show more than a glimpse of them in the trailer. As was the case with the reveal trailer, these appear to be stealthy, Metal Gear Solid-like missions in nature. When the game launches, there will be two modes: a Performance Mode that runs at 60 frames per second with upscaled 4K and Fidelity Mode that runs at native 4K. Ultrawide and HDR support will also be in this version.
The Digital Deluxe Edition will be full price — $60 — but the standard edition upgrade is still $10. New UI changes and online support are coming as well, including leaderboards and “Friend Play,” the latter of which wasn’t detailed. It could be related to the new racing mode as players will be able to compete against the ghosts of others.
