Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
DS2: On The Beach is a follow-up to the critically acclaimed, weird, and divisive title from Metal Gear franchise creator Hideo Kojima.
In DS2, umanity is still in danger. Sam (Norman Reedus) is back to undertake a new expedition beyond the United Cities of America. With him are new companions, starring Léa Seydoux, Elle Fanning, and Troy Baker.
There’s not much else to say about the game. As always, Death Stranding 2 is… unusual, to say the least. The trailer features another baby, a talking doll, new enemies, and the wackiest battle scene featuring a Joker-like enemy with an electric guitar as a weapon.
