According to a recent leak, Kojima Productions’Death Stranding 2is going to release at some point in 2024. The originalDeath Strandingproved to be a divisive game, with some praising it as one of Kojima’s best games to date, and others criticizing its gameplay and pacing. Considering the reception to the originalDeath Stranding, it will definitely be interesting to see how people react toDeath Stranding 2when it comes out.
At the time of this writing, little is known about whatDeath Stranding 2will bring to the table. TheDeath Stranding 2announcement trailer that was shown at The Game Awards confirmed some members of the cast and hinted at potential story developments, but much of the game remains shrouded in mystery. If the original game is any indication, it’s likely thatDeath Stranding 2will keep most of its secrets under wrapsuntil gamers are able to play it for themselves.

Unfortunately for anyone who had hope they would get to play the game this coming year, it seems thatDeath Stranding 2won’t be out until 2024. As revealed by the ArtStation profile of character artist Frank Aliberti (which has since been updated),Death Stranding 2is planning on a 2024 release window. This is not set in stone, of course, but it could be a good idea of whenKojima Productions expects it will finish development on the game.
IfDeath Stranding 2is out in 2024 as rumored, that would make it five years removed from when the originalDeath Strandinglaunched in 2019. Five years is quite a long time between games, but Kojima Productions has helped fill that gap withDeath Strandingre-releases. First this included aDeath StrandingPC port in 2020, and thenDeath Stranding: Director’s Cutfor PC and PS5that added substantial new content for fans of the game to check out.
It’s quite likely thatDeath Stranding 2will eventually make its way to PC as well, but at launch, it’s expected to be a PlayStation 5 console exclusive game. Microsoft has suggested thatDeath Strandingcan’t come to Xbox at alldue to a deal between Kojima Productions and PlayStation, so anyone interested will need to have a PC that can run it or will want to invest in a PS5 console.
With thefirstDeath Stranding 2trailer out, hopefully more will come in the new year, and perhaps one of those trailers will give fans a more specific release date for the game.
Death Stranding 2is in development for PS5.
