In a new interview reported by Famitsu, Hideo Kojima revealed that dialogue recording and motion capture for Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is officially complete. The team will now begin adjusting and focusing on the production of the game while keeping the audience in mind surrounding aspects of fun, understanding, etc. Kojima stated that he expects this phase to take around a year, which means the title is currently on track for its 2025 release. A year from now will be Summer 2025, so it is possible Death Stranding 2: On The Beach will be released then.
Earlier this year, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach was formally showcased and revealed by Kojima Productions. The reveal trailer showcased Sam Porter Bridges embarking on a new quest to reunite the rest of the world. Together with Fragile and an unnamed character played by George Miller, Sam will traverse countless landscapes to change the world forever.
“Embark on an inspiring mission of human connection beyond the UCA. Sam—with companions by his side—sets out on a new journey to save humanity from extinction. Join them as they traverse a world beset by otherworldly enemies, obstacles and a haunting question: should we have connected? Step by step, legendary game creator Hideo Kojima changes the world once again.”
Death Stranding was first released as a PlayStation 4 exclusive in 2019. The game featured Norman Reedus as Sam Porter Bridges, a delivery man who must travel across a broken America and reunite it. In our review of the PC release, we stated the game creates ” an experience like nothing else on the market that is fresh and extremely thought provoking.”
Death Stranding 2 – On The Beach will release in 2025 for PlayStation 5 exclusively. No PC release has been confirmed by either Sony or Kojima Productions at this time.
