Death Stranding depicts the lifestyle of isolated "Preppers" living in shelters to avoid the threat of Timefall and Beached Things, waiting on Porters from agencies like Bridges and Fragile Express to deliver vitally needed goods. This hit close to home for the many who were isolated in their homes due to the threat of COVID-19, forced to depend on delivery services like Amazon for their basic needs. Death Stranding’s meaning changed over time , due to the pandemic, and other games released during that period like The Last of Us 2 also carried unexpected weight.

After the titular incident called the Death Stranding took place, the barrier between the world of the living and the dead weakened. Timefall was one of the accompanying symptoms, a form of rain that causes whatever it falls on to age rapidly. In gameplay terms, Timefall can erode the integrity of Sam’s containers, which imperils the cargo within them. The Timefall could also be the reason for the absence of animals in Death Stranding’s America as well as the changes to the landscape.

The logo vaguely resembles an umbrella, which could also be a reference to Fragile and the Fragile Express delivery company. The mystery goes deeper, as on the first of November, Kojima Productions' site posted an image reading "How Come?" which eventually fades to reveal the face of Japanese actress Shiori Kutsuna, who is best known for her as Yukio in Deadpool 2 .

This comment is apparently a reference to another rumor claiming Death Stranding 2 is the game Kojima is making for Xbox , which is suspected to be codenamed or titled Overdose .
