DEATH STRANDING ISOLATIONS is a new animated series based on the game world of Kojima Productions, but it does not simply reproduce the game’s storyline. Alongside the teaser released in October 2026, it was announced that Takayuki Sano would direct, with Ubukata Tow serving as series composer and screenwriter. The series is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ or another Disney service in 2027. An exact release date has not yet been announced.

Another Story on a Reconnected Continent

The setting is just after protagonist Sam reconnects the North American continent through the Chiral Network. Reconnection may make it seem as though isolation will come to an end, but the series begins at the point when that change produces new consequences. An elderly person who follows a different path from the one chosen by Bridges, a female soldier trapped in the cycle of war and destruction, and a boy enraged by the absurdities of the world all live through the same era.

The Girl Who Chose to Be Alone

At the center of the story is a girl left alone after the explosion caused by the “Death Stranding.” She avoids connecting with others and accepts solitude, but a chance encounter pushes her into a world she never knew. The clash between connection for the sake of rebuilding and separation chosen for oneself unfolds through the perspectives of characters different from those in the game.

Hand-Drawn 2D Visuals

Animation production is being handled by E&H production. The official announcement emphasizes a traditional hand-drawn 2D animation approach, with Ilya Kuvshinov credited for the original character designs. While sharing its familiar universe, the series distinguishes itself by placing new characters and independent events at the forefront.
