Death Stranding 2 Approaches Release

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach Game Unveiling Event

Death Stranding 2 (DS2) is progressing toward its release, as Kojima Productions plans to conduct a live game unveiling event to mark the game’s impending launch. Through a Twitter (X) post, Kojima Productions disclosed that the DS2 Game Unveiling Event will occur on June 8 at 7:00 PM PDT at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, CA.

A restricted number of tickets are available for the event, and they can be bought on the game’s website. For those who cannot attend, it will be broadcast live on PlayStation’s official YouTube channel. You can refer to the schedule below to determine when the stream begins in your area:

The DS2 Game Unveiling Event will be moderated by Geoff Keighley, host of The Game Awards, and series creator Hideo Kojima. It will form part of Summer Game Fest 2025’s weekend-long celebration and will include a panel discussion with special guests.

Most crucially, this will be the first live demonstration of the game, offering fans a preview of the game’s new features and perhaps some narrative aspects. The event also signals the beginning of DS2’s World Strand Tour 2.

Death Stranding World Strand Tour 2

Last month, Kojima Productions released the dates and locations for their World Strand Tour 2 on their website. The tour will traverse 12 locations globally and will run from June 8 until November. Below is the list of tour dates and locations:

● 8th June - Los Angeles
● 14th June - Sydney
● 26th June - Tokyo
● 28th June - Paris
● 30th June - London
● 4th July - Seoul
● 6th July - Taipei
● 9th July - Hong Kong
● 12th July - Shanghai
● August - Riyadh
● October - Sao Paulo
● November - Lucca

The studio previously conducted a world tour for Death Stranding, during which Kojima and actors like Norman Reedus and Troy Baker traveled to numerous cities worldwide to promote the game. According to Kojima Productions, the World Strand Tour 2 will also involve special guests and events at each location. Further details regarding each stop will be announced shortly.

ESRB Rating Disclosed

In other developments, DS2’s official ESRB rating surfaced online earlier this month. As expected, the post-apocalyptic action-adventure sequel has been rated "Mature 17 (M)," akin to the first game in the series. Based on the ESRB’s rating criteria, it will encompass blood and gore, partial nudity, strong language, and violence.

The rating summary states, "As players progress, they can engage in combat against human soldiers, battle androids, and ghostly apparitions. Players utilize melee weapons (e.g., battle guitar) and firearms (e.g., machine guns, sniper rifles) to eliminate enemies. Players also perform stealth takedowns to quietly incapacitate soldiers. Battles can be intense, accompanied by realistic gunfire, blood-splatter, and slow-motion effects."

Additionally, the game will depict violent and gory acts, such as a "man's hands and legs severed by a robotic samurai; a man set ablaze in a fantastical manner; a man bisected by a giant machine." They also mentioned that the term "f**k" is audible in the game.

This rating summary mirrors the description and reasoning provided by the North American rating board for Death Stranding and Death Stranding: Director’s Cut. Fans anticipate the game to retain the same themes and violence, potentially even more so, as Death Stranding 2 will offer more locations and deeper storylines to explore.

Kojima Productions continues to intensify its promotional efforts for its upcoming title, and these upcoming events will provide fans with more reasons to look forward to it. Their recent announcement of adding Hololive VTuber Pekora as a Prepper extends the game’s reach and opens the door to possibly more unconventional cameos.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is scheduled for release on June 26, 2025 on PlayStation 5. To remain updated on the latest information about the game, check out our Death Stranding 2: On The Beach article below!
