The highly anticipated presentation for *Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* began with an impressive ten-minute trailer, culminating in the announcement of the game's official release date. Hideo Kojima's latest masterpiece is slated to hit the shelves on June 26, 2025, and will be available exclusively on the PS5.

In addition to the release date, the developers revealed that pre-orders for the game will commence on Monday, March 17. Gamers can choose from three editions: the standard digital edition priced at $70, the expanded edition at $80, and a collector’s physical edition for $230.

Describing the trailer as stunning would be an understatement. The visuals are breathtaking, and the soundtrack, featuring a track by Woodkid chosen by Hideo Kojima himself, perfectly complements the game's atmosphere.

During the live stream, thousands of viewers in the chat drew parallels to "Rumbling" from *Attack on Titan* and Snake from *Metal Gear Solid*. The trailer introduced several new characters and teased massive action sequences. The enigmatic tagline "We Shouldn't Have Connected" has sparked numerous questions among fans, all of which will be answered when the game launches this summer.
