"The release date has already been decided, and I’m currently working on it in preparation for that," says Kojima. “Since we are talking about 2025, it will be released next year, so we will announce it at some point next year.

It's possible that, while it's still a 2025 release, Death Stranding 2 is being pushed back from its previously anticipated release window. With that said, Kojima has never narrowed down whether this will be an early or late 2025 release, so this wouldn't be a public delay. In any case, it's been confirmed that the studio has a release date in mind, we'll just have to wait and see what this is.

As well as going over the release date, the showcase also gave us some more Death Stranding 2 in-game footage.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will launch in 2025, exclusively on PlayStation 5.
