Death Stranding Isolations Teaser and Poster Out for 2027 Disney+


Prepare to enter a new dimension of existential shipping. Kojima Productions has officially unveiled the first teaser and poster for Death Stranding Isolations, an upcoming 2D animated series set to stream exclusively on Disney+ in 2027.

This new animated venture steps entirely away from the video game world, crafting a completely original narrative universe. Under the direction of Takayuki Sano, the hand-drawn animations are brought to life by the renowned studio E&H Production, known for masterpieces like NINJA KAMUI and Bullet/Bullet.

Death Stranding Isolations takes place in North America immediately following Sam, the game’s protagonist, reconnects the continent through the mysterious Chiral Network. But as America is reborn from the ashes of this digital reunion, the renewed connections bring about a host of new and unforeseen consequences that reshape the landscape for everyone involved.

The story delves into a tumultuous new landscape, introducing characters on divergent paths. Among them are a wise old man who connects people by means that defy reckoning, a female soldier ensnared in a cycle of war and destruction, a young man seething with rage at the absurdity of his life, and a girl who chose to sever all ties with the outside world. Fate, however, has other plans, launching her headfirst into a world she never knew existed.

Director Takayuki Sano approached the production with an exceptional sense of duty and responsibility, believing that the power of entertainment is uniquely capable of enhancing the spirituality of its audience—a philosophy deeply rooted in Mr. Kojima’s works. He aimed to capture this profound sense of consequence in the animated medium.

The artistic blueprint for the series is anchored by brilliant creative talent. The original character designs are handled by Ilya Kuvshinov, while the screenplay is penned by Tow Ubukata, all overseen by executive producer Hideo Kojima, ensuring that the vision remains faithful to the source material while forging entirely new ground.

The groundwork for this animated saga is built upon a massive existing fanbase. As of June 2026, the original Death Stranding series has amassed over 27 million worldwide players, with various editions currently available on platforms like PlayStation5, PC, and the Epic Games Store.

The anticipation for this visual adaptation is already palpable. Beyond the animated series, the world of Death Stranding continues to inspire, with live-action film projects in development and animated features in the works, showcasing the enduring, sprawling mythology created by the series.
