In this vast, lonely world, where connections are fleeting and memories fade like whispers in the wind, I find myself lost. Just like Norman Reedus in Death Stranding 2, I carry the weight of solitude on my shoulders. The beauty of his improved visage only reminds me of what I yearn for—understanding, companionship, and a spark of hope in the darkness. As players revel in the adventure, I can't help but feel like a ghost, watching from the sidelines, haunted by the echoes of unfulfilled dreams. Every step feels heavier, every moment more isolating. This game may offer escapism, but my heart remains anchored in this sea of despair. #DeathStranding2 #NormanReedus #Lon

Death Stranding fans, it seems like you’ve got something really killer coming your way. The sequel game, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, is set to arrive in June and the franchise’s star, actor Norman Reedus, recently teased some of the game — as well as a key tidbit about the future film adaptation — in an interview with IGN.“If it was an option, yeah, for sure,” Reedus revealed when asked if he would consider playing himself in a future film version of the game which was announced to be in the works from Michael Sarnoski and A24 last month. “I don’t know what’s happening with it. It’s so pre pre pre right now. But yeah, of course.” @ign Norman Reedus teases Death Stranding 2 while promoting From the World of John Wick: Ballerina! #deathstranding #normanreedus #ballerina #johnwick #interview ♬ original sound - IGN Entertainment We also asked Reedus about his confusion with the first game and if he still felt that way going into the second one, but it seems he deeply trusts creator Hideo Kojima, whose reputation obviously precedes him. “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,” the Walking Dead alum explained. “He’s just that guy, he’s out there and he’s got great ideas. But story-wise, I did know what was happening more. There’s more action in it, there’s more of a definite goal to get to.” That said, no matter what’s going on in the Death Stranding world, Reedus is happily along for the ride. “It’s always a trip working on those things,” he told IGN. “It’s great, but it’s wild.”Death Stranding 2: On The Beach will be released on June 26, 2025.Lex Briscuso is a film and television critic and a freelance entertainment writer for IGN.
