Death Stranding 2 Game's Video Features Neil, Lucy

The Summer Game Fest 2025 livestream unveiled on Friday a new video for Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding 2: On the Beach game featuring Luca Marinelli as Neil and Alissa Jung as Lucy. Kojima also appeared on the stage:

The game is slated for release for PlayStation 5 on June 26.

The collector's edition gives purchasers early access to the game 48 hours ahead of the official release date, in-game items, a Magellan Man statue, a Dollman figurine, art cards, a letter from Hideo Kojima, and a collector's box exclusive to the collector's edition. The digital deluxe edition includes the 48-hour early access and in-game items. Pre-orders of the game for all editions will also include four in-game items (separate and different from the in-game items in the collector's edition and digital deluxe edition).

The cast for the game includes Norman Reedus, Léa Seydoux, Troy Baker, George Miller, Fatih Akin, Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna, and Nicolas Winding Refn.

The original Death Stranding game shipped for PlayStation 4 in November 2019. The game launched on PC via Steam in July 2020 after a delay from June 2020 due to COVID-19. Death Stranding: Director's Cut, the PlayStation 5 version of the game, launched in September 2021. Death Stranding: Director's Cut launched for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in March 2022.

The game is inspiring a film adaptation at Hammerstone Studios (Barbarian, Bill and Ted Face the Music).

Hideo Kojima reported in an interview with Vogue Japan in May that a Death Stranding animation is now in the works. Kojima does not specify if the project is Japanese animated or not.

Kojima Productions established a new division in Los Angeles, California in 2021 dedicated to music, television, and film.
