A reveal trailer for Death Stranding 2 is also available for Kojima fans to pick apart. In it, we see returning characters Fragile and Sam 'Porter' Bridges - though not exactly how we last left them. There are new villains in the mix, and some very beautiful visuals, making Death Stranding 2 one of the most exciting upcoming PS5 exclusives we have on the calendar.
Here's what we know about Death Stranding 2 so far, including a look at the confirmed platforms, the initial trailer, and all of the latest news. As more details come to light, no doubt drip-fed over the next year or so, we'll be sure to update this page.
Death Stranding 2 - cut to the chase
- What is it? The sequel to 2019's Death Stranding
- When is it coming out? TBC
- What can I play it on? PS5
- Who's making it? Kojima Productions
In terms of what it all means... well, the Death Stranding 2 reveal trailer definitely raises more questions than answers. For one, Sam 'Porter' Bridges is grey now, and Fragile appears to be cured. Not only that, but she has a baby, which she later fails to protect from unknown enemies. There's a creepy-looking BB, a giant ship rising from tar, as well as a new villain wearing a very familiar red mask. We'll have to wait and see how it all pays off and develops into a fuller narrative.
