10-Minute Trailer Showcases New Characters and Gameplay

At SXSW 2025 in Austin, Texas, Kojima Productions and Sony revealed the release date for *Death Stranding 2: On The Beach (DS2)*. The March 9th panel opened with a captivating 10-minute trailer offering glimpses into the game's narrative and gameplay. The trailer suggests DS2 will continue the series' exploration of human connection in a post-apocalyptic setting.

Director Hideo Kojima was joined by PlayStation's Kristen Zitan, along with returning actors Norman Reedus (Sam Porter Bridges), Troy Baker, and Woodkid. The trailer introduced a new character, Neil (played by Luca Marinelli), leader of a mysterious faction. His striking resemblance to Solid Snake, complete with a similar headband, immediately sparked fan speculation.

This isn't entirely unexpected; Kojima himself noted Marinelli's uncanny resemblance to Solid Snake while wearing a bandana in a 2020 Instagram post. Regardless of the visual similarities, Neil's faction appears poised to play a significant role in Death Stranding 2.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is slated for release on June 26, 2025, on PlayStation 5. For the latest updates, check out our dedicated Death Stranding 2: On The Beach article.
