Kojima Productions has revealed that Death Stranding 2 (working title) is officially in development for the PlayStation 5, having released a teaser trailer for the sequel last night that shows off the game’s new visuals and return of key characters, including Sam Porter Bridges and Fragile, who are played by Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead) and Léa Seydoux (Blue Is the Warmest Colour), respectively.
“As with all of his past masterpieces, the latest title will be produced, written, directed and designed by Hideo Kojima himself,” Kojima Productions noted in a press release. “The cast announced so far includes Norman Reedus, Léa Seydoux, Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna, and Troy Baker.”
Kojima Productions isn’t ready to share a release date, but a PC version of Death Stranding 2 is expected, with 505 Games having launched a PC version of the original on July 14, 2020, followed by a Director’s Cut.
“The DIRECTOR’S CUT launched on September 24th, 2021, enhancing the DEATH STRANDING experience by offering players more character action, expanded areas, extended storylines through new missions and a unique Social Strand System that enables players to stay connected with each other around the globe through in-game actions, including donating valuable resources to rebuild structures,” Kojima Productions explained. “The DIRECTOR’S CUT is the definitive experience and is currently available on PlayStation 5 and PC.”
Death Stranding was also added to PC Game Pass on August 23.
As of October 2020, Death Stranding has sold over 3.7 million copies worldwide.

The ironic thing is that the delivery aspect in of itself can be good, I've played plenty of games about deliveries. But Death Strangling is an utterly terrible implementation with the wonkiest physics imaginable, barren worthless level design, nonsensical supernatural combat, and typical kojima pretentiousness. I get a gag reflex thinking about even one of those things, let alone all amalgamated in a giant pile of a game.
I really wanted to like the first one after hearing all the hype but I think I was able to play it for a few hours before I got so bored that I never went back. I've also come to realize that I'm not really into Hideo's games as much as I thought I would be.
I wanted to like it desperately too, and was hoping it would get better, but it didn't. In the 6 hours I've spent on it I barely left the initial area.
