As was rumoured, PS5 exclusive Death Stranding 2 will sport the subtitle On the Beach. The game will be out next year in 2025, and we've got a new trailer clocking in at nearly 10 minutes long to digest. Check it out above.
"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."

Lavish eye candy
But 2025 🥹 Noooo
Jawdropping, it looks incredible and my god those visuals are insane. 2025 can't come soon enough.
For someone who didn't play the first game this trailer got me tripping, a ship coming out a babies mouth, a talking doll, a cat with wings...
Really thought this would be the big 2024 fall game
Game looks insane. Can't wait.
Guess I still have plenty of time to finish the original then.
I legitimately do not know what Kojima is trying to do here. It’s a super serious game dealing with themes of connection and death, and then you’ve got talking puppets and a guy fighting a baby talking robots with a guitar that fires electricity. I know Kojima is known for being eccentric in his games, but this feels like he’s reached a point where it’s stopped being charming and is just weird for the sake of it.
Every Hideo game seems to get crazier than the last. Quite enjoyed the first without being amazed by it. This looks just too bizarre to not want to experience it at least once.
This looked so freaking good, and bizzare in all the right ways. I didn’t think a sequel was needed, but man, this proved me wrong.
What a banger trailer
I have not played the first Death Stranding and did not have much interest in this sequel, but damn, this trailer has me hyped. I was always a little turned off by the whole "gets good after 10 hours walking simulator with mild shooting" thing but this seems to be a bit more intense. I am also a bit of a Troy Baker simp so that helps.
I really hope the UI and HUD is much easier to digest. The menus, small text, constant prompts, tutorials and popups in the first game pretty much ruined it for me and I turned it off after the first boss. I loved the atmosphere and gameplay as well.
The hand mask, the winged black cat, a puppet companion, Troy Baker fighting with a guitar, The vehicles, and Elle Fanning (ILY).
Was hoping for a late 2024 release but oh well.
This was bat***t insane and chaotic and gorgeous and ****ing LOVED every moment of it.
Damn, just damn. This looks amazing
@UltimateOtaku91 Same! Lol. I think I’ll have to finally play DS1 sometime this year. It’s just intimidating knowing how long it is
Nobody does it like Kojima!
Damn still probably 12-23 months until we find out what happens to Lou. Great announcement, until it said 2025 at the end.
Fragiles shoulder hands are one of the most unsettling things I’ve seen in gaming, and I played no Russian 😂
I still have no idea what death Stranding is or what was going on in that game.
I enjoyed it though even if the combat was pretty poor so definitely looking forward to 2
Weird and intriguing....liked the first game so will be getting this
WOW! Looks insane. So many changes and new stuff in there. This will be a great ride for sure
@Enigk you could be surprised! I played the first one last year and it took me 6 months the get through it, and I still haven't got the platinum.
@Jireland92 I’ve been saying the same thing about Kojima for years, I understand that weirdness is his thing, but I’d love to see what he could do with something by leaving a bunch of that out. I’ve never been the biggest Kojima fan because it all feels so disjointed to me because of the blend of weird and serious. Now that said, I gave the first one a shot and I loved it, so I’ll likely try this one out too, but man, I could absolutely do with out the hand scarf, talking doll, baby ship, guitar weapon, and I’m sure I’m missing plenty of other things.
@JaBrony123 I thought the original looked boring and ridiculous but for whatever reason decided to grab it on sale and try it out, I fell in love very early on. I dint think it takes ten hours at all. I’ve never played anything like it. Maybe grab it on sale if you’re interested in it, I think you’ll be surprised.
Am I the only one that thinks the piano in this is WAY too close to the music in Child of Light?
@Odium I honestly think I would enjoy it. I need to take some time to give it a shot, but I am just so tied down with other games.
@JaBrony123 something we can all relate to
Loved every minute of it. Can’t wait to see more.
Cheers.
@Odium Update 2weeks later, finally started Death Stranding and I am really loving it haha. I love the story and the lore and world building, and putting on a podcast or long ass HBomberguy YouTube video and making deliveries is so therapeutic.
@JaBrony123 that’s awesome! I’m glad to hear it. I actually just bought it again for my Steam Deck and am really looking forward to jumping back into it after I finish Crisis Core. It’s such a unique and relaxing game to just kick back with.
