Hideo Kojima and Sony has confirmed that filming for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has finished and the game has now entered the final stages of development, which will last at least another year.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has been announced for 2025 and although we don't have an exact date yet, at least we know that there are no delays in the development of that game for now.
Namely, the director Hideo Kojima confirmed for the Japanese magazine Famitsu that the filming of the acting for the game has been completed and his Kojima Productions is entering the final stage of assembling the game. Or as Kojima says - they are now in the process of making sure that the game is fun and understandable for the players themselves. And that will take at least another year, meaning Death Stranding 2 is likely coming in the second half of 2025.
Death Stranding 2 was in the planning stages in may 2020, real development seem to have started around october 2020, full production likely started after the release of DS Director`s Cut in september 2021 and performance capture only started in march 2022, because they couldnt start earlier because of the pandemic and was finished later last year.
In early january 2024 they only had some ADR left for the english voice recording which they now seem to have completed.
Kojima has now started the first japanese voice recording session inside kojima productions this month. For comparison the japane voice recording sessions for DS1 started in december 2018 and were finished in august 2018 so that did take 8 months and after that it take additionaly 3 months till release in november 2019.
As the game was presented at the beginning of this year, we should not expect a demo soon. But we've already seen a lot of it, so maybe it's better for Kojima to refrain from splicing the entire game for us in promotional materials.
