Death Stranding's box art for the standard version as well as a steelbook version has finally been revealed.

Death Stranding’s creative director Hideo Kojima has finally unveiled the box art for his upcoming title during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con. What was shown is the art for the standard version of the game and also the more expensive steelbook version. The PS4 cover shows an up-close and personal image of Sam Bridges, who is the games main protagonist, staring at something in the distance while the steelbook version depicts Sam’s character again, but a slightly rougher look like he’s just been through the wars.

Film director Nicolas Winding Refnc who has a special appearance in Death Stranding as the character Heartman, also joined the panel to talk about his relationship with Kojima and his thoughts on the title. Mr. Kojima showcased a cutscene showing off Heartman who is equipped with an electronic metal box attached to his torso. Kojima explained that Heartman has a “unique” heart, which stops every 21 minutes and when he dies for three minutes, it allows him to spend some time on the other side in the hopes of trying to find his family but then Heartman keeps getting resurrected.
