Ahead of the release of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach later this month, Kojima Productions has shared a brand new look at the game.

During the Summer Game Fest 2025 broadcast, Death Stranding 2 director Hideo Kojima took to the stage alongside host Geoff Keighley to showcase an exclusive scene from the upcoming game.

The cutscene featured two new characters, Neil, played by Luca Marinelli, and Lucy, played by Alissa Jung. It's difficult to determine the context of the scene, but Neil can be seen attending a meeting with Lucy, as if strangers, before it's revealed that the pair share a past.

According to Kojima, Neil and Lucy share a "deep connection" that will play out throughout the story.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is set to launch on June 26, 2025, for PlayStation 5.

There's also a brand new limited edition DualSense Wireless Controller inspired by Death Stranding 2, which will release alongside the game.
