Story Highlight
  • Death Stranding 2 is currently on track for a 2025 release.
  • According to Kojima, work on voice acting and motion capture has been wrapped up.
  • The game is now entering the final adjustment phase, during which Kojima Productions will fine-tune and polish various elements in time for next year’s launch.

Hideo Kojima’s latest IP, Death Stranding, has become a major hit and needs no introduction. The director is also working on a much-anticipated sequel, promising more violence, bigger stakes, and another ambitious story.

While marketing has remained fairly quiet since its first reveal in 2022, it seems work on Death Stranding 2 has been quite smooth. Hideo Kojima suggests that voice acting and motion capture have been wrapped up.

Why it matters: While there are many big titles coming next year, Death Stranding 2 is on everybody’s radar. It should also serve as a major flagship release for PlayStation in 2025.

According to Famitsu, the information comes directly from Hideo Kojima. The director provided a small update on NHK’s radio broadcast, stating that actors had finished their work on the project.

According to the report, the phase will last about a year, which should allow Kojima Productions to meet its 2025 launch target. During the recent State of Play, fans got a new look at the Death Stranding 2, highlighting the studio’s impressive work so far.
