Trailer Highlights

The 10-minute trailer features a gripping narrative and stunning visuals, beginning with an argument between two characters, including Neil, played by Luca Marinelli. Iconic protagonist Sam, portrayed by Norman Reedus, navigates treacherous terrains, battling harsh weather, avalanches, and horrific monsters that the franchise is known for.

Visual and Thematic Elements

As the trailer progresses, a haunting moment reveals Neil wearing a bandana reminiscent of Solid Snake from Kojima’s renowned Metal Gear Solid series. Quick flash cuts illustrate Neil's face marred with dirt and blood, adding a creepy allure to the scene.

Live Concert Tour Announcement

In addition to the game launch, Hideo Kojima announced The Strands of Harmony World Tour, set to commence on November 8th, 2025, in Sydney, Australia. This concert series will feature a live orchestra performing the evocative music from Death Stranding.

Looking Ahead

Revealed back in 2022, On the Beach serves as a direct sequel to 2019’s critically acclaimed Death Stranding. The game’s success inspired a director’s cut, multiple ports, and even a live-action film currently being developed in collaboration with A24.
