The highly anticipated reveal of *Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* began with a captivating ten-minute trailer that culminated in the announcement of its official release date. Hideo Kojima's latest masterpiece is slated to hit the shelves on June 26, 2025, exclusively for the PlayStation 5.
In addition to the release date, the developers shared exciting news about pre-orders, which will open on Monday, March 17. Gamers can choose from three editions: the standard digital edition priced at $70, an expanded digital edition for $80, and a collector's physical edition that will set you back $230.
Describing the trailer as stunning doesn't do it justice. The visual spectacle is complemented by a top-tier soundtrack, with Hideo Kojima selecting a track by Woodkid to heighten the immersive atmosphere.
As the trailer played, thousands of live chat viewers drew parallels to iconic scenes from "Rumbling" in *Attack on Titan* and characters like Snake from *Metal Gear Solid*. The footage teased new characters and hinted at breathtaking action sequences. The intriguing tagline "We Shouldn't Have Connected" adds an air of mystery, leaving fans eager for more answers come summer.
