In Death Stranding 2 On the Beach, Kojima is upping the stakes and will feature many more familiar faces than in his previous title. One of them will be George Miller, the popular director of Mad Max: Fury Road and Furiosa.

Unlike its predecessor, this new installment will significantly expand its cast, featuring a wide variety of new characters with whom our protagonist will interact.

Kojima also made it very clear on his social media that he loved Miller’s latest film, Furiosa, and saw it more than four times in the cinema. Unfortunately, it seems this film did not achieve box-office success. Nevertheless, this is not the first film in the saga to fail at the box office; in the end, all these movies achieve cult status. Miller is also part of the documentary about Hideo Kojima that can be seen on Disney Plus.

Death Stranding 2 On the Beach is scheduled for release sometime in 2025 for PS5. The game has shown a couple of cinematics and gameplay, but at the moment, little is known about its new plot. Other than that, our protagonist will once again have to try to connect in a world full of despair.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
