Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding franchise is set to expand with the upcoming sequel, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, releasing on June 26, 2025. The narrative, which revisits the impacts of the cataclysmic Death Stranding event, introduces players to a world disrupted by voidouts and Beached Things. The game features a unique hiking gameplay style, rich character designs, and deep narratives about connection in a fragmented, aging environment. The franchise's success is evidenced by its 19 million players, while a live-action adaptation directed by Michael Sarnoski is in the works.
In the aftermath of the Death Stranding, the world was left scarred and shrouded in a mysterious rain that rapidly ages everything it touches.
Death Stranding blends distinctive hiking-based gameplay with dense exposition, character designs, and a surreal sci-fi story about forging human connections in an isolated world.
Kojima revealed that Death Stranding has amassed 19 million players since November 2024, highlighting its popularity ahead of the sequel.
Michael Sarnoski will direct the live-action adaptation of the Death Stranding franchise for A24, reflecting the game's significant cultural impact.
