What is Death Stranding 2: On the Beach?

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a direct sequel set 11 months after the UCA's birth, where the world is now connected and deliveries are automated. A new faction emerges, and the game is filled with the signature eccentricity of Hideo Kojima. To get a glimpse into what awaits, you can watch the trailer, featuring a character reminiscent of Solid Snake. Here's the official description from the PlayStation Store:

“Embark on an inspiring mission of human connection beyond the UCA.

“Sam—with companions by his side—sets out on a new journey to save humanity from extinction.

“Join them as they traverse a world beset by otherworldly enemies, obstacles and a haunting question: should we have connected?

“Step by step, legendary game creator Hideo Kojima changes the world once again.”
