Death Stranding 2: Release Date & Gameplay Revealed

Author : Matthew Update:Mar 12,2025

Hideo Kojima unveiled a spectacular new trailer for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach at SXSW 2025 in Austin, Texas, complete with a confirmed release date.

Death Stranding 2 launches exclusively on PlayStation 5 on June 26, 2025. Digital Deluxe and Collector's Edition purchasers enjoy two days of early access, starting June 24th.

The ten-minute trailer (see below) showcases stunning cinematics, gameplay glimpses, and a character sparking intense debate: a striking resemblance to Snake from the Metal Gear franchise.

PlayLuca Marinelli portrays Neil, a character seen donning a bandana—a signature Snake move—and leading a squad of unsettling soldiers. Neil appears to be a soldier wielding an assault rifle.

The Metal Gear echoes continue with the Magellan Man, a colossal tar-like creature fused with the DHV Magellan, reminiscent of Metal Gear Rex. (A 15-inch Magellan Man statue is included in the Collector's Edition.) The Magellan Man, seemingly piloted like a Pacific Rim mech, confronts enormous, terrifying tar monsters.

The standard edition of Death Stranding 2 is priced at $69.99. The Collector's Edition is $229.99, and the Digital Deluxe Edition is $79.99. Pre-orders open March 17th.

Continuing the narrative of 2019's Death Stranding, Death Stranding 2 poses the question, "Should We Have Connected?" The official synopsis:

Join them as they navigate a world teeming with otherworldly enemies, obstacles, and a haunting question: should we have connected? Step by step, legendary game creator Hideo Kojima reshapes the world once more.
