Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a direct sequel set 11 months after the original, featuring a connected world, automated deliveries, and a new faction. The trailer showcases Kojima's signature style and a Solid Snake-esque character. The PlayStation Store description reads: “Embark on an inspiring mission of human connection beyond the UCA. Sam—with companions by his side—sets out on a new journey to save humanity from extinction. Join them as they traverse a world beset by otherworldly enemies, obstacles and a haunting question: should we have connected? Step by step, legendary game creator Hideo Kojima changes the world once again.”
