Death Stranding 2: On the Beach arrives later this month, and for eager fans, Hideo Kojima unveiled a fresh clip during today's Summer Game Fest.
The footage introduces two new faces: Lucy (portrayed by Alissa Jung) and Neil (played by Luca Marinelli). Neil works as a porter, much like protagonist Sam Porter Bridges. An emotional moment unfolds as they notice matching brands on their hands—Neil appears to remember Lucy from before, while Lucy reacts with intense distress. Kojima notes that Neil's performance and emotional weight will parallel Mads Mikkelsen’s role from the previous game.
Death Stranding 2 continues Hideo Kojima’s open-world delivery adventure, following Fragile and Sam Bridges years after the original story.
Back in September, Kojima Productions shared several gameplay snippets from Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, featuring its surreal photo mode, dancing puppet soldiers, a character brought to life by Mad Max director George Miller, and more signature Kojima oddities.
We also glimpsed a shirtless Norman Reedus wading through dark sludge to encounter a figure named Tarman (also played by Miller) and his airborne feline companion, alongside a eerie talking puppet. The cast includes Tomorrow (Elle Fanning) and Rainy (Shioli Kutsuna). The game launches June 26, 2025, exclusively for PS5.
