During a special panel at SXSW 2025 today, Kojima Productions made a couple of announcements revolving around the Death Stranding franchise. First off, Death Stranding 2 has a pre-order date and a release date, as players can order the game for PS5 starting on March 12, with a current release date planned for June 28, 2025. With the news came a ten-minute video in which we get a better idea of what the story will be, but given the past trailers Hideo Kojima put together for the first game, we're taking everything here with a grain of salt since a lot of what we saw in the original trailers wasn't in the game. Meanwhile, they also announced a new concert series with Strands of Harmony, set to go on a global tour starting in November 2025. We have more details for that as well for you below.
