In this article, we have discussed how PS4’s Death Stranding has already shaped up the gaming world despite being as vague as it is.
Update:
Looks like we have another piece of puzzle to decipher in the form a color-coded pattern to decoded.
A few of the folks at the subreddit have come to the conclusion that Kojima-san wants us to review Lindsay Wagner’s necklace, both from the trailer and in the official poster, should we desire to really find the answers that we’ve deserved all this while.

We are still at the point in Death Stranding’s marketing cycle where all we have are bits of clues here and there about the plot details, the little cast that’s working on it and promises of a bold and brave genre-defining experience that will bring players together to cooperative in moving forward.

Judging by the above statement, it is pretty clear Kojima wants us to consider the value of the process that will lead us to the actual game. Taking an insightful look at how things have to proceed so far and in what capacity, we can derive the simple formulas or tools that we are utilizing to solve this math problem.
