Highlights From The Death Stranding 2: On The Beach Showcase
The last official presentation from Summer Game Fest 2025, we got a better look at Death Stranding 2: On The Beach with Hideo Kojima
Article Summary

In what was essentially the last official broadcast for Summer Game Fest this weekend, the Death Stranding 2: On The Beach Game Premiere showcase provided us the best look at the game so far. The event was broadcast live from The Orpheum in Los Angeles, hosted by SGF and Game Awards founder Geoff Keighley, with director Hideo Kojima and several special guests, including Troy Baker, Shioli Kutsuna, and Woodkid. (Although Elle Fanning phoned her appearance in, as she just said "hey" in front of a tree.)
A good chunk of the show was Kojima discussing how the past few years of development on the game had been going, inspirations for the sequel, the game itself, and more content, along with interviews with their guests. And unlike the first game, it looks like there's no fake footage or trailers for this game to avoid spoilers, as everything they showed off was the genuine article. (Also, how interesting there's a mechanic to play with the baby and tend to their needs!) You can watch the full stream above, which includes a new trailer and cutscenes, as well as live gameplay, as the game is still scheduled to be released on PS5 on June 28, 2025
