The highly anticipated presentation for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach began with an impressive ten-minute trailer, culminating in the exciting announcement of the game's official release date. Hideo Kojima's latest masterpiece is scheduled to hit the shelves on June 26, 2025, and it will be exclusively available on the PS5.
In addition to the release date, the developers shared that pre-orders will start next Monday, March 17. Gamers can choose from the standard digital edition priced at $70, or the expanded edition at $80. For those seeking something more exclusive, a collector's physical edition will be available for $230.
Describing the trailer as stunning barely does it justice. The visuals are breathtaking, and the soundtrack, featuring a track by Woodkid, perfectly complements the atmosphere, adding an extra layer of immersion to the experience.
During the live stream, thousands of viewers in the chat drew parallels to "Rumbling" from Attack on Titan and Snake from Metal Gear Solid. The trailer introduced us to several new characters and teased massive action sequences, leaving fans eager for more. The enigmatic tagline "We Shouldn't Have Connected" has sparked numerous theories and questions, which we can expect to be answered when the game launches this summer.
