The much-anticipated reveal of *Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* began with an impressive ten-minute trailer, culminating in the announcement of the official release date. Hideo Kojima's latest masterpiece is slated to hit the shelves on June 26, 2025, and will be available exclusively on the PS5.
In addition to the release date, the developers shared that pre-orders will commence on March 17. Gamers can choose from three editions: the standard digital edition at $70, the expanded edition for $80, and a collector's physical edition priced at $230.
Describing the trailer as stunning barely scratches the surface of its visual and auditory splendor. Hideo Kojima has once again curated an exceptional soundtrack, this time featuring a track by Woodkid, which perfectly complements the game's atmosphere.
As the trailer unfolded, the live chat buzzed with thousands of viewers drawing parallels to "Rumbling" from *Attack on Titan* and the iconic Snake from *Metal Gear Solid*. The footage teased new characters and suggested epic action sequences, leaving fans eager for more. The enigmatic tagline "We Shouldn't Have Connected" adds an intriguing layer of mystery, promising to be unraveled this summer.
