The originalDeath Strandinggarnered a mixed reputation among gamers but performed well enough for Kojima to greenlight a follow-up, which was officially revealed at The Game Awards 2022. A more detailed look atDeath Stranding 2was later shown off during a PlayStation State of Play livestream in January 2024.
In true Hideo Kojima fashion, much of the plot ofDeath Stranding 2: On the Beachis shrouded in mystery, with each new cryptic snippet of information raising as many questions as it answers. Sam Porter Bridges will return to once again help Fragile reconnect the ruined world ofDeath Stranding, this time as part of a new organization named Drawbridge. Joining them in this venture are the Drawbridge Captain Tarman (modeled afterMad Maxdirector George Miller), a robotic puppet named Dollman, and the mysterious girl Tomorrow. Higgs, the villain of the first game, is also back with a new appearance to seek revenge against Sam and Fragile.
