One of the PS5's biggest games of 2025, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, finally has a release date and a stunning new trailer is going to make the wait until June harder than everTech13:36, 10 Mar 2025The Death Stranding 2 universe gets weirder and weirder(Image: Kojima/Guerrilla Games)There's nothing quite like a Hideo Kojima game to catch you off-guard with a new trailer, and the legendary man behind the Metal Gear Solid series is back with another sterling effort for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.We tipped it to be one of the biggest games of 2025, and alongside Ghost of Yotei, it marks one of two big sequels for PlayStation fans in 2025.Now, we have a confirmed release date and another fantastic trailer as we inch closer to Summer 2025. Here's all we've learned about the game so far.The latest trailer shows off a very Solid Snake-looking character, who is even seen wearing the iconic bandana, while Norman Reedus is back as Sam Porter Bridges. The ten minute trailer is long, and packs a whole host of story beats so those of a sensitive disposition to spoilers might want to look away.The trailer explains that Deliveries, the main gameplay loop of the first game, are now automated, with a "mysterious faction spreading" while "Chiralium warps the environment".Is that who we think it is?(Image: Kojima/Guerrilla Games)We see Sam walking through sandstorms, crossing rivers, climbing snowy mountains and crossing lush jungles, as well as another glimpse of Puppetman and Fragile.It looks like there's more of a focus on combat, too, which will please those that thought the first game was a little on the slower side. Near the end of the trailer, the words "We should not have connected" appear sounds like when you clicked on the wrong button on LinkedIn.The big news is that the game will launch on June 26 as a PS5 exclusive (at least for now), and you can get early access from June 24 with Early Access afforded by the Collector's Edition which also includes figures, in-game weapons, a 15" Magellan man statue and a letter from Kojima himself.For more on PlayStation, be sure to check out how you can get a PS5 console for 11 a month, or the news that Gears of War is reportedly coming to Sony systems.Article continues belowFor more of the latest news from the Daily Star, make sure you sign up for one of our newsletters here.
