Death Stranding is officially headed to PC on June 2 via both Steam and the Epic Games Store - and it'll have Half-Life crossover content.
Kojima Productions and 505 Games announced the news, revealing new features such as a photo mode, higher frame rate caps, and ultra-wide screen support.
As for the Half-Life crossover, we can see it teased in the trailer below - Sam Porter Bridges gets a Valve logo-like ponytail, is wearing the tech-covered gloves we've seen from Half-Life: Alyx, and is seen styling a headcrab hat. Those might even be some Gordon Freeman glasses he's rocking, too. It's not clear just yet how you'll get it in game, however.

We were half-expecting Kojima-related news this week, but not this particular story – last week, a member of the Kojima team seemed to tease a Silent Hill game in a very strange way. Kojima himself is also about to receive BAFTA's highest honour for his work in the industry.
