The mind of Hideo Kojima is famously intricate. His work on titles like *Metal Gear Solid* and *Zone of the Enders* showcases a distinct complexity, especially when it comes to crafting deeply layered storylines for each universe he creates. His latest game, *Death Stranding*, is no exception.
While the initial teasers hinted at a strong sci-fi theme, *Death Stranding* also delves into rich mythology. Fortunately, fans excited for the upcoming second installment can breathe a sigh of relief.
Why? In a recent short video shared on his X / Twitter account, Kojima confirmed that *Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* will include a recap of the first game’s story. This feature is set to benefit two types of players: those who found the original *Death Stranding* storyline a bit overwhelming and those who are new and want to dive into the sequel.
Kojima mentioned that the main screen, featuring a view of Sam, is still a placeholder and may change in the final version.
Unfortunately, details about the depth of the recap haven’t been revealed. *Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* is slated for release in 2025 for PlayStation 5. Are you all caught up on the first *Death Stranding* storyline?
