Death Stranding 2's "On the Beach" subtitle carries some weighty implications for its story and gameplay, beyond what has already been made plain.
Based on what has been revealed so far and the lack of context surrounding it, Death Stranding 2 might be setting players up for an endless road trip.
Death Stranding 2 may flip the script, making Sam the one who needs saving, and Fragile the unexpected heroine who refuses to let him walk alone.
I really hope this does well, but I'm not sure it will sell even half that the original dud with the novelty/mystery of a brand new Kojima IP gone, and the polarising gameplay on top.
Always enjoy arcs like these in stories and video games. Let's you know the hero ain't some crazy overpowered superhuman. Well... it's usually when the hero has some kind of demon takeover typically in anime lol.
I have a bunch of games to finish before this comes out but I will put off whatever I haven’t got to for this. Same goes for Ghost if Yotei.
A media event for Death Stranding 2 was recently held in Japan, and the preview embargo is expected to be lifted on May 8, 2025.
