Attention all Death Stranding enthusiasts! Get ready for an exciting journey because the highly anticipated sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, is slated to launch in June. The star of the franchise, actor Norman Reedus, recently dropped some tantalizing details about the game and even hinted at the upcoming film adaptation during his interview with IGN.
When quizzed about potentially playing himself in the film version of the game, which was announced last month to be in development by Michael Sarnoski and A24, Reedus responded enthusiastically, "If it was an option, yeah, for sure. I don’t know what’s happening with it. It’s so pre pre pre right now. But yeah, of course."

We also touched upon Reedus's initial bewilderment with the first game and whether that feeling persists as he dives into the sequel. He expressed unwavering trust in the game's creator, Hideo Kojima, whose visionary reputation speaks for itself. "As far as working with him and understanding where his head’s at, I don’t think anybody can understand where his head’s at," Reedus remarked. "He’s just that guy, he’s out there and he’s got great ideas. But story-wise, I did know what was happening more. There’s more action in it, there’s more of a definite goal to get to."
Despite any complexities, Reedus remains thrilled to be part of the Death Stranding universe. "It’s always a trip working on those things," he shared with IGN. "It’s great, but it’s wild."
Mark your calendars, as Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is set to hit the shelves on June 26, 2025.
