As the long-awaited sequel to the 2019 original,Death Stranding 2: On the Beachlooks to be much more ambitious and mind-bending in scope. Players will once again step into the shoes of Sam Porter Bridges and continue his journey to bridge the scattered colonies of America after a devastating calamity left the world riddled with stranded, otherworldly souls dubbed BTs.Death Stranding 2: On the Beach’s last traileraired during PlayStation’s February 2024 State of Play, with the game receiving minor updates throughout the rest of the year.
One of the biggest mysteries surroundingDeath Stranding 2: On the Beach, however, is its release date. The State of Play trailer confirmed a 2025 release window for the game, and Hideo Kojima even assured fans last year thatDeath Stranding 2: On the Beach’s release date would be announced in 2025. Now, a recent tweet from Kojima hints at a newDeath Stranding 2: On the Beachtrailer in the works. The venerable game director revealed that he was back on the editing desk for the “first time in a year,” which perfectly lines up with the debut ofDeath Stranding 2: On the Beach’s February 2024 State of Play trailer.
Hideo Kojima May Be Editing a New Trailer for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
Kojima then quote-tweeted the post with a photo of his editing software timeline, where the iconic “A Hideo Kojima Game” phrase can be seen in clear view, confirming that he’s stitching together a game trailer. It seems all too likely that this trailer is forDeath Stranding 2: On the Beach, as the only other projects Kojima has revealed in recent years are Physint and the Xbox-backed cloud gameOD.Physintis years away from receiving a trailer as its cast isn’t even assembled yet, and Xbox doesn’t have any large-scale events planned in the short-term whereODwould likely be shown off with a new trailer. On the other hand, rumors ofPlayStation hosting a February 2025 State of Playhave been gaining steam in recent memory, which would be a suitable venue for a newDeath Stranding 2: On the Beachtrailer.
Therefore, Kojima fans may want to sit tight over the coming week, which is when the February 2025 State of Play is rumored to be held. If PlayStation does announce a State of Play next week, there’s a favorable chanceDeath Stranding 2: On the Beachwill be a part of the proceedings, considering the game’s release date has to be announced. Given that Kojima Productions now also owns theDeath StrandingIP, it should be interesting to see ifDeath Stranding 2: On the Beachgets a PC or Xbox versionsoon after or alongside its PS5 launch.
