Sam's new journey arrives with a stellar cast and existential dilemmas
In the second chapter of the franchise, Sam Porter Bridges returns on a mission to save what remains of humanity. Alongside new characters, he explores regions beyond the former UCA (Union of American Cities), facing supernatural threats and a central dilemma: should we have connected? This question permeates the narrative, marked by themes of isolation, connection, and social reconstruction.
The main cast returns with Norman Reedus, Léa Seydoux, and Troy Baker. Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna, and Oscar-winning filmmaker George Miller make their series debuts. The visual production continues under the direction of Yoji Shinkawa, while the soundtrack is by Ludvig Forssell. Kyle Cooper returns as title designer.
Special panel at SXSW presented news about the game

Hideo Kojima was present alongside Norman Reedus, Troy Baker, and French artist Woodkid, revealing previously unreleased footage and production details. The meeting served as a preview for the in-person events taking place around the world in the coming months.
Each city on the tour is expected to host exclusive events, featuring special guests. In São Paulo, Kojima's visit is expected to attract thousands of fans, echoing the success of the creator's previous visits to Brazil. Since the sequel's announcement, the title has been among the most anticipated for the PS5 in 2025.
Kojima Productions will release the game with special editions and gifts
Scheduled for release on June 26th, the game is now available for pre-order at select retailers and on the PlayStation Store. Special editions will be offered with collectibles, bonus content, and digital items. This production reinforces Sony's investment in the franchise and the global presence of Kojima, one of the most influential figures in the gaming industry.
