From the mind of the legendary creator Hideo Kojima comes Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, a bold new chapter in a universe that asks you the ultimate question: should we have connected? Step into the boots of Sam Porter Bridges as he embarks on a harrowing mission across a fractured world. One where the bonds between people may be the very thing that saves or destroys humanity.

A new frontier beyond the UCA

The United Cities of America was just the beginning. In this chapter of open-world exploration, stealth-action gameplay and philosophical sci-fi storying telling, the world expands dramatically. Vast and mysterious coastlines, treacherous terrain and secrets buried beneath the sand lay the foundation where nothing is ever quite as it seems. Environments are unpredictable and dynamic, forcing you to adapt constantly.

The power of connection is in your hands

This time, Sam isn’t alone. Joined by a cast of unforgettable allies, including returning faces and enigmatic new characters, the journey becomes richer, deeper and more personal than before. Together, you must question what it means to bond with others in a broken world.

Choose how you play

Combat is layered and flexible. Whether you prefer stealth, strategy or direct confrontation, the tools are in your hands. You can avoid conflict entirely, sneak through enemy zones or face threats head on. This is not about domination, it’s about survival with a purpose.

Leave your mark

In Death Stranding 2, connection isn’t just a theme, it’s built into the gameplay itself. The groundbreaking Strand system returns. Your actions impact other players and their presence echoes in your world. The bridges you build, the signs you leave, the gear you donate all shape the community. You’re not just playing the game; you’re shaping a shared future.
