Kojima Productions has released the first trailer for Death Stranding Isolations, an original anime series set in the world of Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding. The project is scheduled to stream exclusively on Disney+ in 2027, although an exact release date has not been announced.
The trailer was revealed through Kojima Productions’ official social media account late on 29 October 2026, with the announcement appearing in Japan on the morning of 30 October. For viewers in the Philippines, the confirmed Disney+ release window establishes the series as an upcoming adaptation, but no Philippine streaming schedule or regional rollout details have been provided.

The brief footage introduces a blonde-haired girl who wakes from sleep after disturbing dreams involving tar. The teaser keeps the broader story concealed, while the studio describes the anime as an original narrative with its own group of characters. That positioning suggests the series will not simply retell the game’s existing story or center on its established protagonists.
A new story within Death Stranding’s world
Death Stranding Isolations is being developed as a separate story in the franchise’s setting. The announcement specifically presents the series as being driven by a “unique ensemble of characters,” rather than identifying Sam Porter Bridges, Fragile, or other familiar figures as its main cast. No further character names, episode count, or plot details were included in the announcement.
The creative team brings experience from several major anime productions. Takayuki Sano is directing the series. His previous work has included key animation, creature and prop design, and episode direction, including work as animation director on the final season of Attack on Titan, as well as contributions to Jujutsu Kaisen and Jujutsu Kaisen 0.
Tow Ubukata is handling the series composition and screenplay. The science-fiction author has also worked on Psycho-Pass 3, Psycho-Pass: Providence, Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie, and Shenmue. Animation production is being handled by E&H production, known for Undead Unluck: Winter Arc, Ninja Kamui, and the 2026 reboot of Magic Knight Rayearth.
