The World of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach

*Death Stranding 2: On The Beach* picks up after the events of the first game, but the world is far from saved. Sam Porter Bridges is drawn back into action by Fragile and her new civilian organization, "Drawbridge," which aims to continue expanding the Chiral Network beyond the borders of the United States of America. This new mission will take players to a new continent, heavily inspired by Mexico, presenting vast, unexplored landscapes and unprecedented environmental challenges.

The core theme has evolved from "connection" to questioning that very principle. The new guiding philosophy asks, "Should we have connected?" suggesting that reconnecting the world has introduced new, unforeseen dangers. Trailers have revealed terrifying new enemies, including cybernetic foes and bizarre, electrified BTs, alongside the dramatic return of Higgs with a new guitar-wielding, cyborg look. With Hideo Kojima at the helm, players can expect another deeply cinematic, thought-provoking, and visually spectacular experience that pushes the boundaries of gaming.
