According to legendary game creator Hideo Kojima, players already like Death Stranding 2: On the Beach more than its predecessor. Death Stranding 2 had a massive preview event recently, with select media outlets playing dozens of hours of the game. The previews were almost universally positive, with previewers making particular note of the game's improved combat mechanics, high-fidelity graphics, story, production value, and soundtrack. Based on Kojima's latest statement, it seems fans are likely going to echo that sentiment.

In celebration of the release of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, legendary game developer Hideo Kojima is hitting the road like a rock star. Kojima is the creator of the well-known stealth shooter Metal Gear Solid series, as well as the 2019 Death Stranding. The protagonist, courier Sam Porter Bridges (played by Norman Reedus), will return in the sequel to continue the quest to forge new connections and save humanity from extinction.

Geoff Keighley is anticipating one of the biggest releases of 2025, and you can now play the first game in its series via PlayStation Plus. Keighley, a game journalist and founder of The Game Awards, has become one of the most prominent voices in the gaming industry today. His voice is primarily that of a hype man for developers - Keighley always seems to dig up the newest and most exciting games, whether they come from well-established AAA studios or newly founded indies.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach isn't even out yet and director Hideo Kojima already has an idea for a sequel. The original game was divisive, but we were enamored here at Screen Rant, awarding it Game of the Year in 2019, and the sequel appears to be building on the idiosyncratic delivery game in practically every way.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will be one of the biggest video game releases over the summer, coming six years after the original. Death Stranding 1 is a phenomenal title if one's into the core delivery gameplay loop. It feels incredible and satisfying to get Legend of Legends ratings in those timed delivery missions with only seconds to spare. However, after platinuming both the base game on Windows PC and the Director's Cut on Xbox, practically back to back, I noticed a core balance issue with the game.

There will be an interesting new accessibility feature coming to Death Stranding 2: On the Beach for players who want to focus on the game's story and lore and less on combat. The first Death Stranding had a blend of several gameplay elements, incorporating stealth, open-world exploration across an unrecognizable future America, delivery missions, structure building, and some combat elements. This new feature for the sequel aims to let as many people as possible experience the game's narrative without any difficult frustrations.

A new trailer details everything included in the Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Collector's Edition, but fans are upset that the expensive edition doesn't come with a physical game disc. The game from legendary game producer Hideo Kojima's Kojima Productions received a release date and star-studded trailer earlier this month. The game will continue the journeys of a lone courier (played by Norman Reedus) through a post-apocalyptic landscape.

The Death Stranding 2: On the Beachis bringing back the original antagonist, Higgs Monaghan, but the character will have an even more pronounced role in the sequel. Developer Hideo Kojima confirmed that he will be 100 times better and wilder than ever in a recent interview at the SXSW 2025 .

Kojima games have always been confusing, featuring complex themes regarding war, autonomy, and duty, but the Death Stranding duology really takes the cake in of the secrets that it keeps. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach'spre-order trailer features the same beautiful and desolate vistas as the first game, and also heavily features Chiralium throughout. This sticky substance is one of the most important clues to understanding what, exactly, the Death Stranding games are about.
