The highly anticipated big reveal for *Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* started with an impressive ten-minute trailer, culminating in the announcement of the game's 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 have shared that pre-orders will commence next Monday, March 17. Gamers can choose from several editions: the standard digital edition, priced at $70, the expanded edition at $80, and for the ultimate fans, a collector's physical edition will be available for $230.
Describing the trailer as stunning barely does it justice. The visuals are breathtaking, and the choice of soundtrack elevates the experience to new heights, with Hideo Kojima selecting a track by Woodkid to perfectly complement the atmosphere.
As the trailer played, thousands of viewers in the live chat drew parallels to iconic moments from "Rumbling" in *Attack on Titan* and the legendary Snake from *Metal Gear Solid*. The footage teased several new characters and hinted at expansive action sequences that promise to keep players on the edge of their seats. The cryptic tagline "We Shouldn't Have Connected" only deepens the mystery surrounding the game's narrative. Fans won't have to wait long for answers, as the full story will unfold this summer.
