The cover features protagonist Sam, played by Norman Reedus, in both covers. In the standard box, he is seen wearing his armor and equipment while the second image features Sam covered in dirt. The plot remains mostly an enigma but here's a quote from Hideo Kojima about what the game is about.

People have created "Walls" and become accustomed to living in isolation. Death Stranding is a completely new type of action game, where the goal of the player is to reconnect isolated cities and a fragmented society. It is created so that all elements, including the story and gameplay, are bound together by the theme of the "Strand" or connection. As Sam Porter Bridges, you will attempt to bridge the divides in society, and in doing create new bonds or "Strands" with other players around the globe. Through your experience playing the game, I hope you'll come to understand the true importance of forging connections with others.
