Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a 2025 action-adventure game written, produced, designed and directed by Hideo Kojima, developed by Kojima Productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is the sequel to Death Stranding, and is the second game from Kojima Productions as an independent entity, as well as the studio's second collaboration with Sony. On the Beach 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 cast consisting of Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna, Luca Marinelli, Alastair Duncan, Alissa Jung, Debra Wilson and Tommie Earl Jenkins, as well as special appearances from George Miller, Fatih Akin, Guillermo del Toro and Nicolas Winding Refn, the latter two reprising their roles 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 On the Beach some time prior to 2020. He reworked the 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 announced in December 2022 alongside confirmation of the new cast members. The game was released for the PlayStation 5 on June 26, 2025 to critical acclaim.
