Death Stranding 2 Still Planned For 2025

CORRECTION: In the article below, it’s stated that Kojima says that the game is only 30-40% completed. However, this appears to be a mistranslation from the sourced information. Kojima appears to be referring to the Japanese voice work for the game. We apologize for the error.

ORIGINAL: Hideo Kojima says that Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is only about “30%-40%” complete.

In an appearance at Tokyo Game Show, Kojima talked about the franchise, including where things stand with the upcoming sequel. He told the gathered crowd that the game isn’t halfway done, but didn’t show much concern about it.

Some of the work that needed to be done (according to IGN) includes re-recording all of the dialogue for the game in Japanese for localization.

He then reiterated that the game will still release in 2025 as planned.

“I haven’t said the release date today, but the release date has already been decided, and I’m currently working on it in preparation for that,” he said.

He added that while the date will be announced next year, “unforeseen circumstances” prevent them from revealing it sooner.

First revealed at The Game Awards 2022, Death Stranding 2 is the sequel to the 2019 original. The game will once again star Norman Reedus as Sam Porter Bridges along with Lea Seydoux as Fragile and Troy Baker as Higgs Monaghan. The game will be available exclusively on PlayStation 5.

Do you think Death Stranding 2: On The Beach hits its 2025 release window despite Hideo Kojima saying the game is only 30-40% complete?? Join the discussion in the Insider Gaming Forums.

Wow if the pace is the same througout the dev cycle that means it was a really short one or that 2025 will be missed

Why are you guys not actually following the context and just reporting on what IGN said? He literally mentions this when talking about the Japanese dubbing, not the entire game.

Do some actual research for once!

I read what was posted by the TC.

"In an appearance during a panel at the Tokyo Game Show, Hideo Kojima said that Death Stranding 2 is about 30-40% complete right now."

I didn't dig down, because I got what I needed from the TC.

"30-40%" could just mean that 30-40% of the game is complete and the rest is WIP.

I heard today the translation was incorrect and this was reffering to the voice acting

I thought it would be further along than that. It's one of my most anticipated games.
