Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is officially set to launch on PlayStation 5 on June 26. During the SXSW event, Kojima Productions unveiled an exciting 10-minute trailer for this eagerly awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed 2019 title, Death Stranding. Fans can start pre-ordering the game on March 17 at 10 AM local time. For those opting for the Digital Deluxe or Collector’s Edition, there’s an enticing perk: early access to the game two days prior to its official release date. This opportunity adds a sense of urgency for gamers eager to dive into the rich world created by Hideo Kojima.
At SXSW 2025, Hideo Kojima was joined on stage by renowned actors Norman Reedus and Troy Baker to delve deeper into the highly anticipated game. The newly released trailer reveals that Death Stranding 2 is set 11 months after the establishment of the United Cities of America. As previously hinted, fans will see the return of Reedus as Sam, alongside Léa Seydoux, who lends her voice to the character Fragile, and Baker portraying Higgs. The video is packed with a wealth of new characters and intriguing narratives, promising an engaging experience for players as they navigate this complex and immersive world.
Death Stranding 2 was first unveiled back in 2022, and the excitement continued to build with a 9-minute preview showcased during last year’s PlayStation State of Play. As the summer approaches, fans will soon be able to experience the next chapter in this groundbreaking franchise, immersing themselves in its unique blend of storytelling and gameplay mechanics.
