Sony and Hideo Kojima have released a newDeath Stranding 2trailer alongside the game’s full title - Death Stranding 2 On The Beach. It’s out in 2025 on PS5, with a PC release date still to be revealed, and appears to be as free-wheeling and self-serious yet whimsical as you’d expect from a Kojima joint. I got as far as the pet anime dragon before my brain squirmed out through my ear.

The trailer is an excitable mash-up of gameplay and cinematics, with plot developments, catchphrases and quintessentially Stranding puns fired at you out of a Gatling gun. It looks like the same mixture of open world exploration and base-building beneath it all, with some additional high-tech vehicles and enemies. But things have escalated, to put it mildly.
We also see Léa Seydoux’s Fragile, who is running a secretive organisation of her own these days called Drawbridges (“no strings attached”, she promises) . We see robot dogs with claw faces, and hear talk of fresh mysteries involving the otherworldly mind-altering substance chiralium. We seeMad Maxdirector George Miller, for some reason - he’s the one with the pet anime dragon. All this and a billion things more. This is a game constructed from meme-able moments. I haven’t even mentioned the talking wooden puppet who appears to be Sam’s new sidekick.
Thoughts? Theories? I hope it’s still basically a walking sim. I really liked the hiking physics in the first.
