Death Stranding 2: On The Beach Launches In June

Sony and Kojima Productions have announced that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will launch on June 26 for PS5 for $70. Additionally, preorders for the game will start on March 17.

A lengthy 10-minute cinematic trailer was also released, showcasing the original song for the game called “To the Wilder” by the artist Woodkid. The trailer also has shots of the different actors playing the game’s characters, including Norman Reedus, Lea Seydoux, George Miller, Troy Baker, Elle Fanning, Fatih Akin, Shioli Kutsuna, Alastair Duncan, Alissa Jung, Nicolas Winding Refn, Lucas Larinelli, and Deborah Wilson.

The end of the trailer, it shows a group of gunman with the narrator talking about how the United Cities of America’s predecessor, the United States of America, had a prominent gun culture. It’s possible that one of Death’s Stranding 2’s themes will be about America’s culture and fascination with firearms.

Those who preorder Death Stranding 2 will gain an early unlock of the Quokka custom hologram, as well Level 1, 2, and 3 Silver Skeletons: Battle, Boost, and Bokka. These are leg attachments that protagonist Sam Bridges can use to augment his abilities.

The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the full game, 48-hour early access, the Gold version of the aforementioned Skeletons, an early unlock for the Level 1 MP Bullet Machine Gun, and three patches: Patch 70: Quokka, Patch 71: Chiral Feline, and Patch 72: Why Me? It will cost $80.

The Collector’s Edition will include everything that the Deluxe Edition had, along with a 15″ Magellan Man Statue, 3″ Dollman figurine, a few art cards, and a letter from Hideo Kojima, all housed in a collector’s box. Unfortunately, this edition will not include a physical copy of the game and will cost $230.

After Death Stranding 2 releases, Kojima Productions will move on to OD and Physint, which Kojima said were impacted by the SAG-AFTRA strike.
