Hideo Kojima has been gradually teasing his upcoming Death Stranding sequel. We’ve had a detailed gameplay trailer and a recent showcase of the game’s incredible photo mode. However, Kojima says that Death Stranding 2 is only 30-40% complete at this point. 

Why it matters: The game is planned to be released in 2025, and while it may seem like it won’t meet the deadline due to not even being halfway done, Kojima seems quite confident that they will be able to meet the release window. 

Kojima made an appearance at the Tokyo Game Show and went into detail about Death Stranding: On The Beach. He revealed that the game isn’t even halfway done, but that isn’t something that concerns him as he’s confident about meeting the release window. 

He still hasn’t explicitly revealed a release date but has reiterated that 2025 window. The exact date will be revealed next year because it couldn’t be announced right now due to some unforeseen circumstances. 

I haven’t said the release date today, but the release date has already been decided, and I’m currently working on it in preparation for that

Death Stranding 2 will, of course, join a year full of excellent games. These include GTA 6, Fable, Gears 6, and much more. Initial trailers for the game have revealed much upgraded graphics and some new characters for the sequel. 

Furthermore, Kojima states that the sequel will be more weirder than the original game. This makes us wonder what the legendary game creator has in store for us. Unfortunately, the wait for a solid release will have to last a little longer. Still, it’s good to find out that the 2025 release is intact.
