Sony just patented a collaborative path-building feature that appears to be the one from Death Stranding. The patent (via NME), titled “Terrain radar and gradual building of a route in a virtual environment of a video game,” credits Hideo Kojima as the inventor and describes many familiar features from the game such as the ability to see and traverse other players’ paths.Come from Sports betting site

In the summary, it delves into further detail on the mentioned “method for influencing a gaming world of a video game.” Patented methods include identifying which paths have been used, improving paths based on the number of players that have used them, and so on. Death Stranding enabled porters to identify routes that other players had plotted and interact with them. Despite the relevance to Kojima’s latest masterpiece, the document doesn’t name drop the game anywhere in the text.
