About Death Stranding 2: On the beach

Death Stranding 2 continues Sam Porter Bridges’ story, with a stronger emphasis on emotional storytelling, environmental traversal, and expanded gameplay systems. It's still powered by Guerrilla’s Decima engine, promising richer visuals and more intricate world-building, alongside returning characters and new faces.

Death Stranding: On the Beach will be a PlayStation 5 exclusive on launch, but there's a chance it arrives to PC and other platforms at a later date.
