Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Global Release Times Confirmed

Kojima Productions has confirmed the global release times for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, the sequel to Hideo Kojima's open-world delivery adventure game starring Norman Reedus. While most people will be able to play from midnight local time this coming Thursday, June 26, Kojima Productions has confirmed that those who bought the digital deluxe edition are able to jump in two days early on Tuesday, June 24. It's at this point that we normally add in a handy map, but Kojima Productions hasn't provided one this time. That said, you don't really need a satnav to navigate this release — the game will unlock for most at midnight local time. IGN's Death Stranding 2 review returned a 9/10. We said: "Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a triumphant sequel that emphatically delivers on the promise of its original." Don't forget, Hideo Kojima is also working on a live-action Death Stranding film with A24, and we recently learned that a Death Stranding anime is in the works, too. He's also working on a PlayStation exclusive action espionage project called Physint, and called the upcoming Xbox-published OD "a game I have always wanted to make."
