Scottish synth-pop band CHVRCHES has signalled that the outfit is ready and willing to collaborate with Hideo Kojima again on Death Stranding 2, and they aren't shy about making their intentions known.

CHVRCHES contributed to the original Death Stranding soundtrack, with their song Death Stranding being featured prominently during the game's marketing push.
