The latest trailer for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has been released, giving players a glimpse into the highly anticipated open-world game. One question that lingers is whether Kojima intentionally chose the subtitle to evoke memories of the original game’s iconic scene. The trailer features familiar mechs and bandanas, adding to the intrigue. Watch the trailer here to see for yourself.
In the trailer, Luca Marinelli from The Solitude of Prime Numbers can be seen sporting a Snakely bandana and a mech reminiscent of Rex. The console release date is set for June 26, 2025, just 63 days before Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. This timeline allows newcomers to Kojima’s work to experience Death Stranding 2 before delving into Delta, sparking discussions on character similarities and thematic elements.
Revealed at SXSW, the trailer comes alongside news of an orchestral concert and a watch. Imagine wearing the watch to the concert and playfully asking about the start time, drawing attention to yourself in a cheeky manner. The clever marketing tactics add to the excitement surrounding the game’s release.
Considering the original game took eight months to expand to consoles, fans may anticipate a PC release for the sequel by the end of the year. The delayed release of the first game allowed for more gameplay diversity and the introduction of a Director’s Cut version. The anticipation for Death Stranding 2 continues to grow, showcasing Kojima’s ability to captivate audiences with his unique storytelling.
