Death Stranding 2: Beach Set for June Release

Hideo Kojima's sequel explores the complexities of human connection in a post-apocalyptic world with new characters, gameplay features, and a mysterious storyline.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will release on June 26, 2025, with early access available for select editions starting June 24.
The sequel introduces new characters, including Neil, a mysterious figure whose backstory may parallel themes from the first game, and Dollman, a living puppet.
Gameplay features expanded challenges such as new weather phenomena, robotic enemies, and enhanced combat mechanics, alongside returning asynchronous multiplayer elements.
The story, rewritten after the COVID-19 pandemic, focuses on the question of whether the connections forged in the first game were worth the sacrifices made.
Death Stranding 2 will initially launch exclusively for PlayStation 5, with possible future availability on other platforms hinted at but unconfirmed.
