Death Stranding 2 On The Beach will continue the journey of Sam Porter Bridges, played by Norman Reedus. The plot will follow the reconstruction of human connections in a fragmented world, focusing on new conflicts and supernatural dangers. The central question of history revolves around the weight of connections and their consequences.

In addition, consecrated characters return alongside unpublished figures, including the participation of filmmaker George Miller, Oscar winner by Mad Max. The cast reinforces the project's film bet.
The technical part brings together known names of the original production. Yoji Shinkawa is still responsible for visual design and Kyle Cooper for visual identity work. The soundtrack, again under the direction of Ludvig Forssell, promises atmospheric compositions that accompany the melancholy and epic tone of the narrative.
