During Sony’s 40+ minute long State of Play event earlier this evening, Hideo Kojima had a few things to show/announce (of course). First up was the completely bonkers new trailer for the officially titled Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, which definitely went places and revealed a 2025 PS5 release. Sam (once again portrayed by Normal Reedus) and crew have left the United States, and seemingly Earth entirely, and are on a quest to connect the world! But should they have even connected to begin with??? Along the way we’ll be blessed with talent which includes the return of Fragile (Léa Seydoux) and Higgs (Troy Baker) who will be joined by actors Elle Fanning and Shioli Kutsuna, and director George Miller (so far).
But wait, there’s more!
Sony and Kojima are teaming up for a new Action-Espionage game/movie/IP (ahem Metal Gear, but not in name) with a possible codename of PHYSINT which will begin development after Death Stranding 2. So it’ll be awhile before we get a look at that, but we’re already counting the days.
Have a look at some of the media and details for all the announcements below!
