The highly anticipated reveal of *Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* commenced with an enthralling ten-minute trailer, culminating in the announcement of its 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 next Monday, March 17. Gamers can choose from the standard digital edition priced at $70, an expanded edition for $80, or splurge on the collector's physical edition, which comes with a hefty price tag of $230.
Describing the trailer as merely 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, carefully selected by Hideo Kojima himself.
As the trailer played, live chat viewers numbering in the thousands drew parallels to "Rumbling" from *Attack on Titan* and the iconic Snake from *Metal Gear Solid*. We were treated to glimpses of new characters and tantalizing hints of expansive action sequences. The intriguing tagline, "We Shouldn't Have Connected," only deepens the mystery surrounding the game. Fans will have their questions answered when *Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* launches this summer.
