Hideo Kojima recently shared some pretty radical new footage from Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, and it looks like it’s going to be a great follow-up with lots of new weirdness. Just as we’d hope for, really.
The video clips were debuted as part of the Tokyo Game Show 2024, which also saw Kojima and his team sitting down to share more info about the game and the characters (both old and new).
The sequel’s cast includes Norman Reedus, Léa Seydoux, Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna, and Troy Baker – alongside Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller playing a completely new character who goes by the name of Tarman.
Check out the clips below and let us know what you think!

Part 2: Tomorrow & Rainy Member Introductions
This is such a cute little scene. It does give me some apprehension for reasons I can’t quite explain, though – maybe some subtle foreshadowing.

Part 4: ‘Photo shoot event’ (Also featuring stuffed Cryptobiote)
This one’s probably my favourite just because it’s so silly.

Anyway, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach will be coming exclusively to PS5.
So far, I’m impressed with what I’m seeing, and I have every faith it’s going to be another incredible gaming experience that builds on the first game – which I heavily enjoyed, even if I didn’t manage to finish it due to being so damn busy.
One day, ONE DAY, I will game again. I swear it.
