The highly anticipated sequel, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, is set to arrive in 2025. Developed by Kojima Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, this action-adventure game will continue the mind-bending journey crafted by legendary designer Hideo Kojima.

Release Date & Platforms

Will Death Stranding 2 Be Available on PC?

For now, Death Stranding 2 is a PlayStation 5 exclusive. While there is a possibility of a PC release in the future, Sony’s involvement means it will likely remain a timed exclusive for PlayStation for a significant period.

The Epic Trailer Reveal

Hideo Kojima unveiled the latest Death Stranding 2 trailer at SXSW 2025 in Austin, TX. The 10-minute cinematic trailer showcases breathtaking visuals, familiar faces, and a deeper dive into the eerie world of Death Stranding.

Story & Characters

Kojima Productions has also revealed an official synopsis:

“In Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, embark on an inspiring mission of human connection beyond the UCA. Sam—with companions by his side—sets out on a new journey to save humanity from extinction. Join them as they traverse a world beset by otherworldly enemies, obstacles, and a haunting question: should we have connected? Step by step, legendary game creator Hideo Kojima changes the world once again.”

The game will feature returning characters Norman Reedus (Sam Porter Bridges), Léa Seydoux (Fragile), and Troy Baker (Higgs). Newcomers include Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna, and Academy Award-winning director George Miller.

Is Solid Snake in Death Stranding 2?

A character in the trailer, Neil, bears a striking resemblance to Solid Snake. While this has sparked speculation, Solid Snake is not in Death Stranding 2. However, the similarity appears to be intentional, likely as a nod to Kojima’s past work on Metal Gear Solid.

Pre-Orders & Special Editions

Pre-orders for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will be available soon. Special editions, including the Collector’s Edition, will offer exclusive content and early access.

Final Thoughts

With its stunning trailer, deep storytelling, and star-studded cast, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is shaping up to be a must-play game of 2025. Stay tuned for more updates as the release date approaches!
