We’ve been waiting months for news about Death Stranding 2, and Hideo Kojima randomly dropped a 10-minute trailer on us. Something that only the master of mind-messery could make happen. And wouldn’t you know it, Death Stranding 2 is somehow looking even more convoluted and wild than the first game. While part of me has died seeing that there is no reference to Monster Energy (literally why I refuse to upgrade to the Director’s Cut), the rest of the trailer has filled me with a sense of wonder and intrigue. But also, why is a nod to Solid Snake here? And was that a Metal Gear that I saw? Are these worlds finally connecting into one?

After Death Stranding came out of nowhere and basically predicted exactly what would happen during the pandemic — with fewer tar monsters in real life — I can’t help but wonder what sort of terrifying global mutation will happen next. Hailed by some as a soothsayer, and by others as a charlatan, Kojima is always crafting something that will make players think. Right now, all I can think about is how one of the most anticipated games of 2025 randomly got a trailer in the middle of a Sunday afternoon.

And yes, I know I’m huffing wild amounts of Death Stranding copium when I think that Luca Marinelli looks like Solid Snake. But trust me; I’m not the only one doing just that. Back in 2020, Hideo Kojima was asked who had his attention. He mentions Marinelli looking just like Solid Snake with a Bandana. So, I’m not the only one that jumped to this conclusion.

Oh, but most importantly? Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is slated to drop on June 26, 2025. Not that it’s a big deal or anything, just your typical Sunday afternoon news, right? I’m not freaking out, you’re freaking out. Plus, those who pre-order the Deluxe Editon can get a few days of Early Access. Not a fan of that, so much, but if I must, I will.
