Fans Speculating Kojima Testing Death Stranding 2 on Unreleased Playstation 5 Pro

Hideo Kojima is the main visionary behind the Metal Gear series and the original Death Stranding. His creativity is no stranger to pushing the limits of gaming technology. He even had to go through rewrites for his latest project, Death Stranding 2. The game was recently showcased with an image that has led many to speculate that it is running on an advanced PS5 Pro dev kit.

It is known that Kojima has a soft side for new and advanced technology that he shows by collaborating with hardware developers and his history of unveiling cutting-edge technology. This is the reason that has further fueled speculation about the Pro Dev Kit.

After seeing the image, players think that for legal reasons the PlayStation was hidden with a black cloth on the right side of the monitor while being connected to the PlayStation Controller with wire. However, if the rumors/speculations are true, the PS5 Pro will for sure usher in a new era of gaming experiences.

That is why so many players are excited to learn more about its capabilities. So many people on social media and gaming forums are speculating about this.

Many fans are very interested in the topic.

While some are not sure but think this might be the pro version.

There are some who think this is just a dev kit, not a pro version.

Think it’s a dev kit.

He has to do that now as the internet will probably assume it’s the Pro cos it looks so different.

Some think this is just a normal PlayStation made especially for developers and due to legal bindings, they have to hide it. On the other side, some are almost sure that this might be the pro version as it is very thick and bulky, nothing like the regular PlayStation.

The reason why players are so excited about the Pro version is due to its capabilities. The current generation console is still very powerful and to think there is a pro version, which will have an enhanced hardware capability, excites the fans.

Supposedly, Sony decided to announce PS5 Pro in the coming year, it will not only allow developers to create even more immersive worlds but will also provide them with higher graphical fidelity, faster processing, and advanced features such as real-time ray tracing. For gamers, this means a future filled with richer, more immersive experiences that will leave them captivated.

While the excitement surrounding Hideo Kojima and unknown hardware is tempting, it’s essential to remember that Sony has yet to officially confirm the existence of the pro version or provide details about its release. Until an official announcement is made, all discussions remain speculative.

In the end, fans eagerly await further news on the release of the upcoming sequel in 2025. They are looking forward to the creative narrative Kojima will decide to explore this time.
