Is there a Death Stranding 2 release date?
Sadly, there is currently no release date for Death Stranding 2, and Kojima Productions haven’t committed to a release window just yet.
The original Death Stranding had a notoriously long development cycle, so don’t be surprised if the sequel doesn’t arrive until 2024 at the earliest, possibly even 2025.
Death Stranding 2 platforms
According to the first Death Stranding 2 trailer, the game is currently only slated for release on PlayStation 5. The first installment was a popular Sony exclusive, so it’s no surprise to see it doubling down on the latest hardware, but it does mean that those still on PS4 may miss out.
The original also made its way to PC a year after release, so there’s a good chance that Death Stranding 2 will follow the same pattern.
Death Stranding 2 story
Many fans might be surprised after the events of the 2019 game, but Death Stranding 2 appears to be a direct sequel taking place years later. The only trailer so far focuses heavily on Fragile, who has been unwillingly recruited by a mysterious faction known as Drawbridge.

An older and greyer Sam Bridges, played once again by Norman Reedus, will also return, likely serving as the sequel’s main protagonist.
As you’d expect from a Kojima game, there are plenty of other bizarre story elements, including baby octopuses, but it’s far too soon to pinpoint what much of it means.
Death Stranding 2 gameplay
We’re still yet to see any gameplay footage from Death Stranding 2, but it’s expected to expand on the formula of the original game, which saw players delivering cargo across a beautiful yet dangerous version of the United States.
However, how Kojima and his team improve the moment-to-moment gameplay and combat remains to be seen.
