Key features

Why you should play Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

Unique and realistic world

In the vast open world of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, countless areas with vastly different terrains and environments are seamlessly connected, and the changing time, weather and nature itself provide a variety of landscapes and challenges.

Evolved and more flexible action

There are various obstacles that will prevent Sam from completing his mission. Face them head-on, sneak around, or completely avoid dangerous areas. Choose your approach to any situation.

A deep and captivating story

Eleven months after the events of the previous game, Death Stranding, which connected a divided America and prevented the extinction of humanity, Sam and his friends begin a new journey of 'connection' in the unknown wilderness.

Social strand system

Your actions affect someone else's world, and their actions affect yours. Make sure you leave your mark on this world.

Where does Death Stranding 2: On the Beach take place?

Go beyond the United Cities of America

Join Sam for the next chapter of his journey as he attempts to connect Australia to the Chiral Network. Navigate a living environment through day and night cycles, natural disasters including earthquakes, sandstorms and forest fires, and Timefall – a rain that instantly ages everything it touches.

To traverse this dangerous landscape, you'll need to build new types of infrastructure, master specialised equipment, and confront (or evade) the otherworldly creatures that roam the fractured world.

Combat and stealth

Fight for the future

Face enigmatic Mech soldiers, as-yet unseen BTs, and new boss types that will push Sam to his limits. As you prepare for each journey, you’ll be able to fabricate weapons like machine guns, shotguns and grenade launchers to deal with threats. Or, choose to avoid confrontation altogether with stealth – using decoy holograms, silent takedowns and long-ranged gear.

Through APAS enhancements, Sam can learn new skills that will improve his odds of survival, like enhanced weapon fire-rates or reduced movement noise to help him stay hidden.
