Death Stranding Director's Cut Brings Prettier Vistas, New Story Missions, and a Racetrack to PS5 in September

Those who have been pumped up about the recently announced Director's Cut for Death Stranding won't have to wait long to get their hands on it, as an announcement during today's PlayStation State of Play revealed that it's launching September 24 for PS5.

The trailer shown during the event highlighted a number of new pieces of content coming to the Director's Cut. In addition to some noticeable performance upgrades, the Director's Cut will include a number of adjustments to combat such as new battles, upgraded melee combat, new guns including a mounted machine gun, and a firing range to practice it all on.

Combat's not the only bit of gameplay being improved, though, as there are additional delivery support options being added too like a cargo catapult to fling packages around, a support skeleton to help you stack better, and a hilarious-looking "buddy bot" with silly legs that can help you carry more things around, or even seemingly carry Sam himself.

There are also additions for the vehicular-minded, such as jump ramps to do cool motorcycle tricks on, and an entire racetrack called the Fragile Circuit that you can drive a shiny car around on.

Oh, and there are new story missions as well, teased by several enticing images including a graveyard and other ruined structures. Plus whatever was going on in the initial reveal trailer with the Metal Gear-referential box full of oranges.

Death Stranding has been a curious object since its launch in late 2019, with our own review praising its fascinating sci-fi world but finding its gameplay struggled to support that weight.
