Death Stranding Fans Have a Theory About BB's Identity in On the Beach

Key Takeaways

  • Fans are coming up with theories about Elle Fanning’s mysterious character Tomorrow in the upcoming game Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
  • Some believe that Tomorrow is an adult version of Lou, the BB unit that Sam partnered with in the original title.
  • During Tokyo Game Show 2024, Hideo Kojima claimed that the upcoming sequel is still aiming for a 2025 release.

As a dedicated fan who has spent countless hours immersed in the intricate world of Death Stranding, I can’t help but be captivated by the theories surrounding Elle Fanning’s character Tomorrow in the upcoming sequel. The mystery surrounding her identity and connection to Sam’s past is as enigmatic as a Chiral Bridge shrouded in fog.


Enthusiasts are concocting intriguing hypotheses about Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, with some of the most widely discussed theories revolving around BB and Elle Fanning’s enigmatic character Tomorrow. The sequel to Death Stranding was initially unveiled at The Game Awards 2022, while its complete title was disclosed during a PlayStation Showcase earlier this year. In Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, the narrative will continue for Sam Porter Bridges and Fragile as they strive to reconnect the world post-catastrophe.

Similar to the original game, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach boasts a star-studded voice cast, with Norman Reedus, Léa Seydoux, and Troy Baker reprising their roles as Sam, Fragile, and Higgs respectively. Renowned filmmakers George Miller and Fatih Akin will appear digitally in Death Stranding 2, although separate actors will voice their characters. The most captivating newcomer to Death Stranding 2’s cast is Elle Fanning, who takes on the role of Tomorrow, a mysterious girl rescued by Sam and his team.

Little else is clear about Tomorrow, except that she appears to have psychic talents like DOOMS, leading fans to speculate about Elle Fanning’s character in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. One widely accepted theory suggests she could be an older version of Lou, the BB unit that Sam collaborated with in the first Death Stranding. Reddit user EugeneGoryachev believes they’ve discovered a hint supporting this idea.

Fans Think Elle Fanning is Playing An Older BB In Death Stranding On the Beach

In the fifteenth chapter of “Death Stranding”, it was titled “Tomorrow is in your hands”. Some players believe this title could be a hint, suggesting that Sam is carrying a baby Lou, who might represent Tomorrow from Death Stranding 2 in the future. However, it’s been noted that the phrase “tomorrow is in your hands” appears frequently throughout the original Death Stranding. Given Hideo Kojima’s penchant for subtle foreshadowing, many speculate that Lou could appear both as an adult and an infant in Death Stranding 2 based on this title.

From another perspective, certain Reddit users speculate that Tomorrow might not be Lou in disguise. They suspect this could be a complex misdirection. The real identity of Tomorrow and her potential link to Sam’s ex-BB partner may never be clear until the release of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, expected in 2025. However, following typical Kojima style, the unveiling is likely to spark twice as many questions as it provides answers.
