The highly anticipated presentation for *Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* commenced with an impressive ten-minute trailer, culminating in the announcement of the game's official release date. Hideo Kojima's latest masterpiece is slated to hit the shelves on June 26, 2025, and will be exclusively available on the PS5.
In addition to the release date, the developers shared that pre-orders for the game will begin next Monday, March 17. Fans can choose from multiple editions: the standard digital edition priced at $70, the expanded edition at $80, and a collector's physical edition that will set you back $230.
Describing the trailer as merely stunning doesn't do it justice. The visuals are breathtaking, and the soundtrack, curated by Hideo Kojima himself, features a track by Woodkid that perfectly complements the game's atmosphere.
As the trailer played, the live chat buzzed with thousands of viewers drawing comparisons to iconic scenes from "Rumbling" in *Attack on Titan* and the character Snake from *Metal Gear Solid*. We were treated to glimpses of new characters and teasers of grand action sequences. The intriguing tagline "We Shouldn't Have Connected" has sparked numerous theories and questions, which we'll hopefully have answered come this summer.
