From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Stranding_2:_On_the_Beach):
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is an upcoming 2025 action-adventure game developed by Kojima Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is the sequel to Death Stranding, and is written, produced, and directed by Hideo Kojima. It is also the second game of Kojima Productions as an independent entity and the studio's second collaboration with Sony. The title features the previous game's central characters, including Sam Porter Bridges, Fragile, and Higgs, reprised by Norman Reedus, Léa Seydoux, and Troy Baker, respectively. They are joined by a new cast consisting of Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna, Luca Marinelli, Alastair Duncan, Alissa Jung and Debra Wilson, as well as special appearances from George Miller, Fatih Akin, and Nicolas Winding Refn, the latter reprising his role from the first game.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is set primarily in Australia, eleven months after the events of the first game, in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by otherworldly creatures. The player controls Sam Porter Bridges, a freelance porter, as he and his companions set out on an expedition across the Australian continent to connect isolated survivors and colonies to the wireless communications "chiral" network in order to save humanity from extinction.
Kojima began writing the game's sequel some time prior to 2020, but reworked his narrative from scratch to reflect the effect of COVID-19 on the worldwide population. After the story was completed, hints of Death Stranding being developed into a series by Kojima Productions had been insinuated, before the sequel game was confirmed as in development by Reedus in May 2022. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach was officially announced in December 2022 alongside confirmation of the new cast members. The game is scheduled to release for the PlayStation 5 on June 26, 2025.
In March 2020, Norman Reedus, who portrayed the main protagonist, Sam Porter Bridges, alluded to the possibility of continued collaboration with Hideo Kojima, who wrote, directed, produced and primarily designed the game.[8] The sequel was revealed to be in development in May 2022, when Reedus participated in an interview with the outlet Leo Edit to discuss his work on the game. In response, Kojima posted a series of photos on Twitter, cheekily depicting him punishing Reedus for confirming the game's existence.[9] In October, following a series of teasers shared by Kojima on social media, Elle Fanning was announced to join the cast for an upcoming Kojima Productions game.[10][11]
Kojima unveiled the game at The Game Awards 2022. He shared that he had written the game's original story sometime prior to 2020, but decided to rework the narrative when faced with new story concepts that reflected the impact of COVID-19 on the rest of the world.[12] The trailer additionally confirmed that Léa Seydoux and Troy Baker would reprise their roles as Fragile and Higgs from the first game, and that Fanning would appear in an undisclosed role. Shioli Kutsuna was also announced to have joined the cast.[13][14] Artist and mechanical designer Yoji Shinkawa and composer Ludvig Forssell were also confirmed to return to their respective roles from the first game.
During the January 2024 PlayStation State of Play, Kojima revealed in a 10-minute trailer new information about the game such as Fanning's character, special appearances by George Miller/Marty Rhone as Tarman[b] and Fatih Akin/Jonathan Roumie as Dollman,[b] as well as new gameplay.[15] Filming and motion capture were completed by May 2024, with Kojima adding that the game was in an "adjustment phase" that will take about a year to complete.[16]
The game's release date was officially announced with a trailer at SXSW on March 9, 2025. The trailer revealed the reprisal of Nicolas Winding Refn/Darren Jacobs as Heartman from the first game,[17][b] the new castings of Luca Marinelli as Neil,[18] Alissa Jung as Lucy, Alastair Duncan as The President, and Debra Wilson as Doctor, as well as Woodkid's role as co-composer of the game's soundtrack, his original song "To the Wilder" being featured in the trailer.[17] On May 29, 2025, Kojima Productions announced the appearance of Hololive virtual youtuber, Usada Pekora, as a cameo.[19]
