10-Minute Trailer Showcases New Characters and Gameplay

At SXSW 2025 in Austin, Texas, Kojima Productions and Sony announced the release date of *Death Stranding 2: On The Beach* (DS2) on March 9th. Director Hideo Kojima opened the panel with a captivating 10-minute trailer, offering glimpses into the game's narrative and gameplay. The trailer suggests DS2 will continue exploring themes of human connection within a post-apocalyptic setting.

Kojima was joined by PlayStation’s Kristen Zitan, along with returning actors Norman Reedus (Sam Porter Bridges), Troy Baker, and Woodkid. The trailer also introduced a new character, Neil, played by Luca Marinelli, leader of a mysterious faction. The character's resemblance to Solid Snake, particularly his headband, has generated significant fan discussion.

This similarity wasn't overlooked by Kojima himself. In a July 2020 Instagram post, he commented on Marinelli's striking resemblance to Solid Snake when wearing a bandana. Regardless of the visual similarities, Neil's faction appears poised to play a crucial role in Death Stranding 2.
