Death Stranding 2 Details Revealed at SXSW 2025

10-Minute Pre-Order Trailer Showcases New Characters and Gameplay

Kojima Productions and Sony unveiled the much-anticipated release date for Death Stranding 2: On The Beach (DS2) during the South by Southwest (SXSW) event on March 9, 2025, in Austin, Texas. The panel, led by DS2 Director Hideo Kojima, kicked off with an engaging 10-minute trailer that offered glimpses into new story elements and gameplay mechanics. The trailer reaffirmed the game's focus on themes of human connectivity within a post-apocalyptic setting.

Joining Kojima were PlayStation’s Global Content Communications Manager Kristen Zitan, and key actors from DS2 including Norman Reedus reprising his role as Sam Porter Bridges, Troy Baker, and French Music Director and Designer Woodkid. The trailer introduced a new character, Neil, played by Luca Marinelli, who leads a mysterious faction. Fans were quick to notice Neil's resemblance to Solid Snake, particularly due to the iconic headband he wears.

Kojima himself acknowledged this similarity in an Instagram post from July 2020, noting that Marinelli, when donning a bandana, strikingly resembles Solid Snake. This new faction led by Neil is poised to play a significant role in the narrative of Death Stranding 2.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is scheduled to launch on June 26, 2025, exclusively for PlayStation 5. For the latest updates and more in-depth information on the game, be sure to check out our dedicated article on Death Stranding 2: On The Beach!
