The big presentation for *Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* kicked off with an impressive ten-minute trailer, culminating in the exciting announcement of the official release date. Hideo Kojima’s latest masterpiece is slated to hit the shelves on June 26, 2025, exclusively for the PlayStation 5.
In addition to the release date, the developers revealed that pre-orders will commence next Monday, March 17. Fans can choose from three different editions: the standard digital edition priced at $70, the expanded edition at $80, and a collector’s physical edition, which will be available for $230.
Describing the trailer as stunning doesn't do it justice. The visuals are breathtaking, and the atmosphere is further elevated by a top-tier soundtrack, featuring a track by Woodkid, handpicked by Hideo Kojima himself.
As the trailer played, thousands of viewers in the live chat drew comparisons to "Rumbling" from *Attack on Titan* and Snake from *Metal Gear Solid*. We were introduced to several intriguing new characters and teased with hints of massive action sequences. The enigmatic tagline, "We Shouldn't Have Connected," adds a layer of mystery that has fans buzzing with anticipation. We'll uncover the full story this coming summer.
