Sony and Kojima Productions have announced that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will include asynchronous multiplayer features, preserving the signature "social strand gameplay" from its predecessor. Notably, players can access these online elements without a PlayStation Plus subscription.
The PlayStation Store's updated listing reveals that Death Stranding 2 will let players encounter roads, bridges, and structures crafted by others as they navigate the game. These interactive features unlock after linking various in-game regions, encouraging a shared sense of adventure and teamwork.
Hideo Kojima will take the stage at SXSW on March 10, 2025, to share more insights into the game’s mechanics, innovative gameplay, and compelling narrative. Kojima recently noted that the final trailer for Death Stranding 2 is in its last editing phase, with music playing a key role in elevating the story.
Set for an exclusive PlayStation 5 release by late 2025, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach aims to deliver a captivating experience, expanding on the original’s unique concepts while introducing fresh elements to engage both veteran and new players.
