Key Takeaways

  • Tentative Death Stranding 2 menu screen revealed by Kojima, showcasing Sam Porter Bridges and a story recap option.
  • Sequel is set to release in 2025 on PS5.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the reveal of the tentative menu screen for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has sent waves of excitement coursing through the gaming community. Having been hooked on Kojima’s unique narrative style since the early days of Metal Gear Solid, I eagerly await the 2025 release of this intriguing sequel on my trusty PS5 console.

The director of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Hideo Kojima, has shared a glimpse of the potential menu for the upcoming action game. Set to launch in 2025, Death Stranding 2 is an exclusive title for PlayStation 5 and serves as the sequel to the 2019 release, Death Stranding.

Initially unveiled at The Game Awards back in 2022, “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach” has been gradually evolving into another enigmatic creation from Hideo Kojima, boasting a stellar cast that includes Norman Reedus, Léa Seydoux, and Elle Fanning, among others. This upcoming title serves as a continuation of the post-apocalyptic storyline initiated by the original “Death Stranding”, with some significant characters reappearing in the sequel. Over the course of the year, Kojima has been releasing tidbits about the game, such as a trailer during Sony’s State of Play event in February and another at the Tokyo Games Show in September, fueling fans’ excitement.

As a die-hard fan of Hideo Kojima’s work, I was thrilled to catch a glimpse at the latest sneak peek of “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach” on Twitter. Kojima shared an intriguing image, displaying Sam Porter Bridges locking lips with a baby and the “Death Stranding 2” emblem hovering in the backdrop. Interestingly enough, there’s a “Recap of Death Stranding” option nestled on the menu screen. Kojima revealed that they’ve been swamped with voiceover recording sessions, team meetings, fine-tuning the game, and checking progress, leaving them no time to indulge in playing it themselves yet. He also warned that what we saw in the image might not be the final version that hits the shelves, as things could still change along the way.

Death Stranding 2 Sneak Peek Puts the Spotlight on the Game’s Menu Screen

In the menu screen of Death Stranding 2, there is a backdrop image showing the main character, portrayed by Norman Reedus, in a heartfelt scene. Notably, this image is frequently used for promotional purposes and can be found on various platforms such as the developer’s website, the game’s PS Store page, and even the thumbnail of the latest trailer. Additionally, upon examining the menu options, it seems that a summary of the original Death Stranding story will be included. This feature would provide new players with an accessible way to understand the storyline of the unusual open-world game, while also offering veterans a chance to refresh their memories if desired.

Last month at the Tokyo Game Show, Kojima Productions unveiled some intriguing aspects that’ll be included in “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach,” like an improved photo mode and dance events within the game. Additionally, Kojima hinted that the sequel will blend gameplay and storytelling in unique ways to make it even more enigmatic than the original. But, whether pushing the boundaries of the already mysterious plot for “Death Stranding” is the right decision remains to be seen.
