In the same interview, Reedus addressed his initial confusion with the first game and whether that feeling persists as he steps into the sequel. He expressed unwavering trust in the game's creator, Hideo Kojima, acknowledging Kojima's unique vision. "As far as working with him and understanding where his head’s at, I don’t think anybody can understand where his head’s at," Reedus noted. He also mentioned that the sequel features more action and a clearer narrative goal, indicating a deeper understanding of the storyline this time around.
Despite any complexities, Reedus remains thrilled to be part of the Death Stranding universe. "It’s always a trip working on those things," he shared. "It’s great, but it’s wild."
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is scheduled to launch on June 26, 2025, promising fans another immersive journey into Hideo Kojima's enigmatic world.
