Death Stranding - Teaser Trailer (TGA 2016 4K)
Death Stranding’s engine could be called Decima, based on a logo spotted at the end of its newest trailer. Although the logo’s significance has caused a debate among fans of director Hideo Kojima, the man himself tweeted a video that suggests that Decima is nothing more than the engine Death Stranding is running on.

YongYea, a YouTuber who covers all kinds of games on his channel, uploaded the video above, recapping theories about the trailer. Alongside analyses of the posters Kojima Productions shared subsequent to Death Stranding’s trailer premiere at the Game Awards, he explained the meaning behind Decima.
The name Decima comes from Greco-Roman mythology; she’s one of the three Fates. Decima in particular measures a person’s “thread of life,” which YongYea notes is an appropriate choice for Death Stranding.
“Some of Death Stranding’s biggest themes include things like the rope and the stick and threads that connect all living things,” he says. “If you think about it, there’s nothing that connects us mortals more than the singular fact that we all die at the end.”
Kojima has cited the philosophical concepts of the stick and the rope among Death Stranding’s key themes. He tweeted a discussion of these and other themes earlier this year, explaining that “the stick helped ape evolve into man,” while “the rope helps us capture and bind important things to us.”
And thus, the thread of life-measuring Decima is a perfect fit. Both YongYea and journalist Michael Fortsch, whose Tweet is referenced in the video, cite sources that the engine is customized for Death Stranding.
“Just got told that Decima is the name for the modified Sucker Punch Infamous: Second Son Engine Death Stranding is using,” Fortsch wrote Thursday night, following the teaser reveal.
That hasn’t been confirmed, and Fortsch himself insisted that it was just a rumor. We’ve reached out to Kojima Productions about the engine and will update when we hear back.
Either way, YongYea notes that the engine appears to be the same as the one powering the game in its debut E3 2016 trailer. After Death Stranding’s premiere at Sony’s press conference this past June, Kojima said that he had yet to settle on an engine. It looks like Decima is it for the undated PlayStation 4 game.
On the bustling Death Stranding subreddit, theorists insist that “Decima isn’t just the engine.”
“Thinking about Decima, my mind continues to harken back to the Moby Dick bait-and-switch back with [Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain] but I can't think of a reason why Kojima would do that again ON HIS OWN GAME,” wrote calrissian69.
This seems unlikely, but with Kojima, anything is possible. The director has given few concrete details about Death Stranding, including the name of its engine at this state in production. A panel hosted by the industry veteran and unannounced “special guests” at this weekend’s PlayStation Experience may be more illuminating.
