Death Stranding 2 Video Covers Death Stranding Story Spoilers

Ahead of the debut of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Sony and Kojima Productions released an official video that covers spoilers from the original Death Stranding story to help people catch up. It summarizes everything that happened so someone can jump into the sequel with the essential information needed to understand what’s going on.

Editor’s Note: The “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach – The Story so Far” trailer features many spoilers for the first game.

The trailer begins with Norman Reedus, as Sam Porter Bridges, acting as a narrator and almost making it seem as though this is him telling a story to Lou. From there, the tone changes a bit and we hear from other characters describing what happens. First, it goes over the general state of the world as the first game begins. It discusses the existence of BTs, Timefall rain, DOOMs, BBs, and Sam’s status as a repatriate. Sam himself is discussed by people like Fragile and set up as a courier who makes deliveries and ends up being tasked with reconnecting the US via the Chiral Network and rescuing the captured Amelie. 

It’s at that point the “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach – The Story so Far” trailer starts to get into spoilers about the story. So once you hit the three minute mark, expect things to get more “real.”

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will debut on the PS5 on June 26, 2025, though people with the Digital Deluxe or Collector’s Edition get early access on June 24, 2025. There’s also a special DualSense controller based on the game.
