Sony and Kojima Productions revealed the latest trailer for Death Stranding 2 during PlayStation State of Play 2024. It is officially titled Death Stranding 2: On The Beach.

The new trailer, which somehow managed to be even wackier than any of the trailers for the original game, showed off gameplay. It also provided a first look at the sequel’s story.

It once again follows Sam Bridges (Norman Reedus) who is back working with Fragile (Lea Seydoux) in her new organisation, Drawbridge.

The gameplay looks highly reminiscent of the 2019 title, with players traversing barren and dangerous terrain.

Death Stranding 2‘s story will see Sam travel to new territories outside America in an attempt to bring them into the Chiral Network.

It was also revealed in the trailer that the eponymous Death Stranding extinction event isn’t over and that humanity remains in grave danger.

In typical Hideo Kojima fashion, the trailer featured all kinds of craziness. This included a resurrected Higgs (Troy Baker) wielding an railgun guitar, a cyborg ninja making baby sounds, and a living puppet companion.

It may be a while yet before players can get back to the beach in Death Stranding 2 as no release date was announced.
