Highly Anticipated PS5 Exclusive Teased for Gamescom

Highlights

  • Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is strongly rumored to be featured at Gamescom 2024.
  • Hideo Kojima recently tweeted a mysterious Death Stranding 2 character poster, and responses from Gamescom host Geoff Keighley further allude to more news imminently.
  • Fans anticipate a new Death Stranding 2 trailer or release date announcement at Gamescom, but Tokyo Game Show may hold bigger surprises.

As a seasoned gamer and avid Death Stranding fan since its release back in 2019, I can hardly contain my excitement for Gamescom 2024! The recent hints from Hideo Kojima have left me on the edge of my seat, especially the character poster he shared just one day before the event. If that doesn’t scream “new information coming soon,” I don’t know what does!


Multiple hints point towards the possibility that additional details about the upcoming exclusive game for PlayStation 5, tentatively titled “Death Stranding 2: On The Beach”, could be unveiled at the forthcoming Gamescom 2024 live event. Since its last appearance during January 2024’s State of Play, where a relatively extended 9-minute trailer was showcased, fans have eagerly awaited further glimpses into “Death Stranding 2”.

Initially unveiled under the code name DS2 at the 2022 Game Awards, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is the long-anticipated sequel to Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding. The 2022 trailer showcased Norman Reedus reprising his role as a mature Sam Porter Bridges, along with brief glimpses of other characters and the game’s overall atmosphere. The extended State of Play trailer for Death Stranding 2, on the other hand, disclosed some plot details and a 2025 release date. Yet, the cryptic narrative style and dreamlike sequences have left fans yearning for more insights about Death Stranding 2, prompting requests for additional information.

There are strong whispers that Hideo Kojima will attend September’s Tokyo Game Show to unveil a new trailer for Death Stranding 2. However, it seems fans might get more details about the game sooner rather than later. A recent tweet from Kojima hints at a secret character in Death Stranding 2, who is speculated to be portrayed by Japanese actor Kenjiro Tsuda. The timing of this tweet is quite peculiar because Geoff Keighley, host of Gamescom Opening Night Live, has also shared the Death Stranding 2 teaser, suggesting that the game could be showcased during tomorrow’s event on August 20.

Kojima Posts Death Stranding 2 Character Poster One Day Before Gamescom 2024

Strengthening the notion further is another recent tweet from Kojima, which showed Elle Fanning’s Death Stranding 2 character in what appears to be a cutscene. Keighley responded to this tweet with the double-eyes emoji, yet again teasing Kojima’s involvement in Gamescom 2024. Kojima has frequently used Keighley’s events to announce his games as well, like the experimental Xbox title OD at the 2023 Game Awards, so the evidence does line up in favor of a new Death Stranding 2 trailer or information dropping imminently at Gamescom.

It’s intriguing to contemplate what Kojima might unveil for Death Stranding 2 fans at Gamescom 2024. Rumors suggest anything from a fresh story trailer, a release date announcement, and additional information. However, it would be wise to manage expectations since the publisher of Death Stranding 2, PlayStation, will participate as a general exhibitor at Tokyo Game Show after a five-year absence. Therefore, they might save larger details about the game for that event instead.
