Hideo Kojima unveiled an exciting new trailer for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach at SXSW 2025 in Austin, TX, alongside announcing the game's release date. Death Stranding 2 is set to launch on June 26, 2025, exclusively for PlayStation 5. Fans eager to dive in early can get two days of early access starting June 24 by purchasing the Digital Deluxe Edition or the Collector's Edition.
The captivating 10-minute trailer showcases a mix of cinematics and gameplay, drawing significant attention to a character named Neil, portrayed by Italian actor Luca Marinelli. Neil's appearance and actions, including donning a bandana reminiscent of Snake from the Metal Gear series, have sparked discussions among fans. This character leads a squad of eerie soldiers and wields an assault rifle, adding depth to the game's narrative.
The trailer also introduces the Magellan Man, a colossal tar-like creature reminiscent of *Metal Gear Rex*. This behemoth, included as a 15" statue in the Collector's Edition, operates like a mech from *Pacific Rim* and battles against menacing tar monsters, further enriching the game's visual and thematic experience.
