At the SXSW conference, Hideo Kojima hosted a 45-minute panel centered on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, revealing its release date of June 26, 2025 for the PlayStation 5.
Those who preorder either the Collector’s Edition or the Digital Deluxe Edition will enjoy early access, available from June 24. However, this early access approach may not sit well with fans who wish to avoid spoilers, given the intricate narrative of Death Stranding.
The official trailer lasts about 10 minutes, showcasing stunning visuals and ambiguous themes—like a headband that is sure to resonate with fans of the Metal Gear series. The trailer includes captivating elements, including a winged cat, a unique boat, and striking imagery that leaves viewers in awe.
Fans hope that the PC release will not face long delays as experienced with the original game, which arrived eight months post its console release, partly due to pandemic-related setbacks. The succession from PS5 to PC remains uncertain, yet gamers remain optimistic about the wait.
