When you are Kojima, the universe adapts to you. In Death Stranding, players accidentally stumbled upon a new secret - a constellation with the face of Hideo Kojima himself appeared right in the starry sky. Yes, now he is literally among the stars.
Judging by the reviews, we have that "perfect sequel" in front of us
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is coming out on 26 June 2025 on PlayStation 5, and this time we're not just going to be walking around with a backpack, but a full-fledged therapy in a post-apocalyptic setting with everything we love: existence, drama, BT, and unexpected philosophical twists.
Kojima never hid the fact that he was seriously ill during the COVID-19 pandemic and worried that he would never be able to complete another project. Even after his recovery, Kojima still reflects on his death. However, he doesn't believe that Kojima Productions would have survived if he had instructed his successors to create games the way he does.
Hideo Kojima has added a very useful feature to Death Stranding 2 - the ability to check the length of cutscenes with the click of a button. It's a small thing, but it can be quite useful.
If you didn't see enough in the Death Stranding 2: On the Beach trailers, the Game Premiere Event organised by Kojima Productions and Geoff Keighley revealed a lot of new details. Hideo Kojima himself shared fresh details about how players will be able to call the DHV Magellan after installing the Chiral Network and watch his crew's progress throughout the game.
With less than a month to go until Death Stranding 2: On the Beach's release, Kojima Productions is already preparing a high-profile premiere - a special Game Premiere Event will take place on 8 June during Summer Game Fest. Meanwhile, new details about the combat system, equipment, and unique mechanics in the sequel have been posted on the official PlayStation website.
Hideo Kojima has confirmed that he is working on an animation project as well
In a new interview, Hideo Kojima, the author of Death Stranding, recalled how his game, which told about the world of separated people, unexpectedly became a prophecy for our reality. And ahead of the release of the sequel Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, he revealed how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the perception of his work.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is only a little over a month away, but Hideo Kojima is not going to let fans rest easy. At the Koji 10 radio show, he told us that the last trailer will be released only a week or two before the game's release, and it will contain a lot of new things - but without spoilers for the plot.
As Death Stranding 2: On the Beach prepares to become one of the major releases of 2025, Hideo Kojima is already making plans for the future. His project Physint is an ambitious stealth action game for Sony, but fans will have to wait at least five to six years for it.
Even if you have mixed emotions about Hideo Kojima's games, you can't help but give him credit for his courage and willingness to go all-in. Death Stranding is the type of game that, in an extremely conservative business, would never have received a significant budget from Sony if it weren't for Kojima's reputation. Still, it's safe to assume that someone at Sony was nervous to learn that they were funding a delivery simulator with minimal action, especially given the early reviews of Death Stranding from testers.
Hideo Kojima, the legendary creator of Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid, is known for his games that explore possible scenarios for our collective future. However, recent events have forced the game director to think more deeply about his own future and the fate of Kojima Productions after his death.
