Summary
During a dedicated panel at SXSW, Hideo Kojima confirmed thatDeath Stranding 2: On the Beachis going to release on June 26, as well a collector’s edition featuring a massive “Megellan Man” statue.
AlthoughPlayStationandKojima Productionshave beensurprisingly quiet about Death Stranding 2: On the Beach over the past few months, Porters at least knew that it wouldn’t be too long until we found out more. Earlier this year,it was confirmed that Kojima and several other key Death Stranding members would host a panelfocus on the long-awaited sequel.
That panel just took place as part of SXSW and revealed a ton of new information about the game. Perhaps the biggest reveal of all, though, and one most of us were hoping for was the confirmation of Death Stranding 2’s long-awaited release date, which is coming surprisingly early on June 26.
Death Stranding 2 Is Coming This June
Towards the end of the panel, the big announcement that we’ve all been waiting for was revealed - Death Stranding 2: On The Beach will be launching on June 26, which was revealed at the end of anunsurprisinglylong trailer showing tons of new footage.
That wasn’t all, though,as the panel also revealed that Death Stranding 2’s collector’s edition will include a 15 inch Megellan Man statue, three inch Dollman figurine, art cards, and a ton of in-game items, including a few different types of skeleton and some patches. It sadly doesn’t come with a disk, though.
I bought the first game’s collector’s edition and was relentlessly mocked for having a “baby in a jar” on my shelf. You know damn well I’ll be doing that again.
Of course, while it was great to see these details confirmed, it doesn’t come as too much of a surprise. Earlier this week,Twitter user and reliable leaker billbil-kun announced that pre-orders for the game were imminent, alongside confirming that a $229.99 collector’s edition would be released alongside the game.
