Raised by Wolves writer penning Death Stranding animated film

There's a Death Stranding animated film in the works. 

That's according to Deadline, which reports that Aaron Guzikowski, the writer of the dark Ridley Scott sci-fi TV show Raised by Wolves, is penning the screenplay for the upcoming project.

The show is a partnership between Death Stranding developer Kojima Productions and animation specialist Line Mileage. 

“I love the world of Death Stranding, it’s so creatively freeing, so beautifully dark and yet hopeful; I’m so excited and honored that Hideo Kojima, whose work I’ve long admired, has invited me to dwell within his creation, to birth new stories into this fertile, mind-bending universe,” Guzikowski said.

“Drawing and animation have always been near and dear to my heart, so to finally get to play in this space is a dream come true.”

This project is separate to the Death Stranding live action film which is being helmed by A24. 

Death Stranding 2 is launching on PlayStation 5 on June 26th.
