If you’re planning to dive into the world of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, don’t expect Cliff to be with you. According to creator and game director Hideo Kojima, Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal) will not be returning for the 2025 sequel. For those who need a quick reminder, Mads Mikkelsen played Captain Cliff Unger, the secondary antagonist, in the original Death Stranding, released in 2019. Throughout the game, Cliff would bring Sam into his war-themed Beach and attack him with BTs. Mads’ performance as the militant entity…

There’s something comforting in not only Death Stranding getting a sequel, but its trailers not getting any less strange. In fact, today’s State of Play trailer was maybe the most bizarre look yet, spotlighting an entire new region for Sam to connect, and a release window of 2025. Now apparently dubbed Death Stranding 2 On The Beach, I’m not sure where to start with all this. Sam “Porter” Bridges, portrayed again by Norman Reedus, is back in the lead. Fragile is back too, with a hand-based neck apparatus that can…

As expected, the PlayStation State of Play today featured our first look at the latest from famed developer Hideo Kojima, in the form of an exceedingly creepy and cinematic preview of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.

Rest assured, you'll still be running around wildly impressive landscapes with your giant yellow backpack.But…

Though the studio remains forever secretive, Kojima Productions has been gracious enough to provide fans a sneak peek into two upcoming projects: the Death Stranding sequel and OD. On Twitter, Hideo Kojima recently gave an update on Death Stranding 2‘s development. He explains that 2024 entails another year of development for the game which is being produced at the same time as OD. Death Stranding 2 still “has some ADR left” and after that, the studio will focus on doing Japanese voice-overs. There’s still no…

Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima's genre-defying video game, is being turned into a movie. The acclaimed game director is partnering with executive producer Alex Lebovici's Hammerstone Studios — known for the recent Barbarian movie — to develop an adaptation of the said title. Marking Kojima Productions' first feature film, it will introduce “new elements and characters” within the Death Stranding universe.
