In late June 2025, Kojima Productions and Sony Interactive Entertainment will release Death Stranding 2: On the Beach for PlayStation 5. A Death Stranding concert tour will also stop in Berlin.

Speaking at the SXSW 2025 festival in Austin, Texas, Hideo Kojima announced the release date of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach for PlayStation 5. The game, once again published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, will be released on 26 June 2025, with a Collector's Edition available for pre-order directly from PlayStation and select retailers worldwide (from 17 March). A ten-minute trailer for the game was also released to coincide with the announcement, in Kojima's usual cinematic yet mysterious style. There is no information yet on a release for other platforms.

By the way: On 15 January 2026, the Death Stranding Strands of Harmony (concert tour) will make a stop in Berlin.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach: "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.

The Director's Cut was released in September 2021, again first on PlayStation 5 and later on PC.
