[GameSpot] - Death Stranding-Style Delivery Exoskeletons Are Being Developed In China

Death Stranding just released in November 2019, but its strange premise is already one step closer to reality. Ele.me, a Chinese food delivery company, has teamed up with ULS Robotics to test out a new wearable exoskeleton that will allow the user to carry much heavier loads than they usually would--much like Death Stranding protagonist Sam Porter Bridges.

News site Sixth Tone has posted footage of the exoskeleton, calling it "straight out of a video game". You can watch the video below.

This ekoskeleton allows the user to carry weights of up to 50kg (110 pounds) with relative ease, so it's still some way off of replicating what Sam's capable of in the game.

Of course, with folks now spending more time inside due to the COVID-19 crisis, the world is looking more and more like Kojima's game--hopefully the BTs weren't also an ill portent of some future doom.

If you're a PC gamer and these references are going over your head, never fear--Death Stranding is coming to Steam on July 14.

Interesting of course, but I first heard about it, usually when I want to order food, I order in a proven delivery, but I sometimes feel sorry to give money and the only thing that can convince me is a discount, so I go online and look for other deliveries, so I say I came across skip the dishes thunder bay, they do not everywhere good reviews, but sometimes there are great discounts, and price - quality in principle corresponds. And so in general, it's much more economical to cook yourself
