The much-anticipated reveal for *Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* kicked off with an impressive ten-minute trailer, culminating in the announcement of the game's official release date. Fans can mark their calendars for June 26, 2025, when Hideo Kojima's latest masterpiece will launch exclusively on the PS5.
In addition to the release date, the developers announced that pre-orders will be available starting next Monday, March 17. Gamers will have three options to choose from: the standard digital edition priced at $70, the expanded edition at $80, and a collector's physical edition for $230, catering to every level of fan dedication.
Describing the trailer as stunning barely scratches the surface. The visuals are breathtaking, and the atmosphere is perfectly complemented by a top-tier soundtrack, featuring a track by Woodkid chosen by Hideo Kojima himself.
As the trailer played, thousands of viewers in the live chat couldn't help but draw comparisons to iconic scenes from "Rumbling" in *Attack on Titan* and the character Snake from *Metal Gear Solid*. The trailer introduced us to several new characters and teased massive action sequences that promise to keep players on the edge of their seats. The intriguing tagline, "We Shouldn't Have Connected," leaves us with more questions than answers, but we won't have to wait long to unravel the mystery this summer.
