UPDATE: A new Death Stranding trailer has confirmed that Kojima Production's ambitious new game will release on November 8, 2019.

Although Death Stranding has been in development for a few years now, the game itself and its release date is still a mystery that is yet to be unveiled. Recently, a pre-order page for Death Stranding was accidentally leaked on the PlayStation Store, suggesting that an official announcement of the game's launch date is on the horizon.

Now, it appears that Death Stranding's release date is coming sooner than what most people thought after leaked information revealed that the game may be available this year. In a now-deleted post, the official Facebook PlayStation page in Taiwan uploaded a photo revealing that the highly-anticipated Hideo Kojima game is set to release on November 8, 2019. Although the post was quickly deleted by PlayStation Taiwan, Twitter user NanoGuidingStar was able to take a screenshot and posted it on social media.

As of this writing, neither Sony nor Kojima has confirmed the leaked information. However, given that it came from an official source, it is highly possible that the leaked release date is true. Moreover, PlayStation Taiwan wasn't the only outlet to leak Death Stranding's release date. Yesterday, Italian journalist Antonio Fucito, who has a history of accurately leaking news, also suggested on Twitter that Death Stranding is set to release on the aforementioned date.

If the leaked rumors turn out to be true, and Death Stranding releases this November, it would probably affect the launch date of another highly-anticipated PS4 exclusive. Just like Death Stranding, The Last of Us 2 still has no release date. However, a recent rumor suggested that The Last of Us 2 is pushed back to 2020, which would make sense given that it is unlikely for Sony to release two exclusives around the same time.

Whatever the case may be, it appears that fans won't have to wait for long to know about the release date of Death Stranding. A couple of days ago, the official Twitter page of Kojima Productions revealed that more news about the game will be announced today, May 29. Although the studio did not specify what exactly it will announce, it is likely that the release date of the game will finally be revealed, especially since Death Stranding has already released a number of trailers and previews to promote the upcoming game.

Death Stranding is currently in development for the PlayStation 4.
