Death Stranding 2 Details Unveiled at SXSW 2025

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

At SXSW 2025 in Austin, Texas, on March 9th, Kojima Productions and Sony revealed the release date for *Death Stranding 2: On The Beach* (DS2). Director Hideo Kojima kicked off the panel with a captivating 10-minute trailer, offering glimpses into the game's narrative and gameplay. The trailer suggests DS2 will continue exploring themes of human connection in a post-apocalyptic setting.

Kojima was joined by PlayStation’s Kristen Zitan, along with returning actors Norman Reedus (Sam Porter Bridges), Troy Baker, and Woodkid. The trailer also introduced a new character, Neil (played by Luca Marinelli), leader of a mysterious faction. The character's resemblance to Solid Snake, particularly his headband, hasn't gone unnoticed by fans.

This similarity wasn't lost on Kojima himself. In a July 2020 Instagram post, he commented on Marinelli's striking resemblance to Solid Snake when wearing a bandana. Regardless of the visual similarities, Neil's faction promises to be a significant element in Death Stranding 2.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is scheduled for release on June 26, 2025, on PlayStation 5. For the latest updates, be sure to check out our comprehensive Death Stranding 2: On The Beach article!
