The highly anticipated presentation for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach commenced with an enthralling ten-minute cinematic trailer, culminating in the announcement of its official release date. Set to launch exclusively on PS5, Hideo Kojima’s latest opus will arrive on June 26, 2025.
In addition, the development team revealed that pre-orders will open next Monday, March 17. The standard digital version will retail for $70, while the expanded edition will be priced at $80. A premium collector’s physical edition will also be available for $230.
Describing the trailer as visually striking would be an understatement. The accompanying soundtrack deserves equal praise, with Hideo Kojima opting for a track by Woodkid to amplify the emotional depth and atmosphere.
As viewers watched, countless comparisons flooded the live chat—“Rumbling” from Attack on Titan and Snake from Metal Gear Solid were frequently mentioned. New characters were introduced, along with tantalizing hints at epic action sequences. The cryptic tagline, "We Shouldn't Have Connected," has sparked curiosity worldwide.
