As a segment of the Summer Game Fest at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, Kojima Productions unveiled the initial moving visuals from Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Along with Hideo Kojima and host Geoff Keighley, stars like Elle Fanning, Troy Baker, Shioli Kutsuna, and Woodkid graced the stage – a glamorous assembly that infused the moment with excitement.
The trailer transported viewers into expansive, shadowy landscapes. Sam Porter Bridges meets new characters including Neil (Troy Baker) and Lucy (Elle Fanning), followed closely by an action sequence with Neil that highlights not only tactical prowess but also narrative richness. This is enhanced by a vibrant blend of philosophical discourse and cinematic visuals that carry Kojima’s distinct style.
Significant gameplay transformations are also imminent: in addition to the well-known terrain navigation, Sam employs stealth techniques and combat abilities for the first time. An essential element is the monorail system, which facilitates fresh links between far-flung regions of the game.
The technical foundation is outstanding: the Decima engine serves as the core, delivering lifelike graphics, dynamic day-night cycles, and intricate environments. Kojima’s team amplifies the narrative intricacy while preserving the emotional essence – a delicate equilibrium between novelty and heritage.
PS5 launch & the international Death Stranding World Strand Tour
On June 26, 2025, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will launch exclusively for PS5. The Deluxe Edition offers a two-day advance access – a treat for devoted fans. Tech enthusiasts can anticipate 4K visuals, dynamic weather patterns, fluctuating day cycles, and improved combat and stealth mechanics.

Simultaneously, the World Strand Tour 2 will be unveiled in twelve prominent cities: Los Angeles, Sydney, Tokyo, Paris, London, Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Riyadh, São Paulo, and Lucca.
