Kojima Productions unveiled the first trailer for Death Stranding Isolations, an original anime series set within the world of Death Stranding, set to arrive on Disney+ next year.
The announcement came via a tweet posted late on October 29 (the morning of October 30 in Japan). In the trailer, a blonde-haired girl is stirred from sleep by dreams of being swallowed by the tar.
The tweet itself offers no further detail; in the post, a quote reads, “My mom became a crater.”

Death Stranding Isolations is promised to be an original story driven by its “own unique ensemble of characters,” suggesting that Sam Porter Bridges, Fragile and others won’t play major roles in the narrative.
As previously announced, the series will stream exclusively on Disney+ in 2027, though no exact date was given. The anime is directed by Takayuki Sano, known for key animation work as well as designing creatures and props, directing and many other duties across a swath of major anime over the years. Most notably, he served as the animation director for Attack on Titan’s final season, as well as episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen and the movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0.
Tow Ubukata is set to write the series’ screenplay. Ubukata is a noted science-fiction author who lent his talents to Psycho-Pass 3 and Psycho-Pass: Providence, Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie, and was the Free Scenario Plotter for Shenmue.
E&H production are animating the series, best known for their work on Undead Unluck: Winter Arc, Ninja Kamui, and the 2026 Magic Knight Rayearth reboot.
Kojima also unveiled a new poster for his upcoming horror game in collaboration with director Jordan Peele, OD Knock, showing Sophia Lillis looking up at a long, red object above her.
