Death Stranding 2 officially launched yesterday, and riding the wave of excitement, the content creator @Mega64 boldly recreated a live-action delivery video inspired by the game, humorously delivering “rare resin” to a Starbucks coffee shop.
In the video, a participant dons the thick delivery outfit from the game under the scorching summer sun, carrying a baby prop on his chest and multiple packages on his back, perfectly mimicking Norman Reedus’ character as he navigates city streets to make deliveries.
During the delivery, the character repeatedly stumbles due to the unbalanced cargo. Passersby stop to check if he is okay (this scene might be staged), and he responds by asking, “Has this place connected to the Chiral Network yet? Have you seen my Q-Pid here? I plan to link this place to the Chiral Network.”
The Chiral Network is a virtual network system within the Death Stranding game, and the Q-Pid is the key to this network. The female passerby clearly does not understand the references.
The video ends with a line mimicking Death Stranding’s tone: “Your journey will be filled with hardship, you will face challenges, but you must move forward. There will be those who doubt you along the way.”
