The highly anticipated presentation for *Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* commenced 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, exclusively for the PS5.
In addition to the thrilling trailer, the developers revealed that pre-orders will commence next Monday, March 17. Gamers can choose from the standard digital edition priced at $70, the expanded edition for $80, or indulge in the collector's physical edition, which comes with a hefty price tag of $230.
Describing the trailer as merely stunning would not 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, thousands of viewers in the live chat drew parallels to iconic scenes from "Rumbling" in *Attack on Titan* and the legendary Snake from *Metal Gear Solid*. The trailer teased us with several new characters and hinted at colossal action sequences. The intriguing tagline "We Shouldn't Have Connected" leaves us with more questions than answers, but we won't have to wait long for the full story to unfold this summer.
