Death Stranding 2 On the Beach

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is less than four weeks out from launch, with Kojima Productions hosting a Game Premiere Event on June 8th. Of course, the development team has already revealed several details, like how it redesigned the gameplay loop to accommodate different playstyles.

The title’s official PlayStation page provides a few more details, including how Sam Porter Bridges can use “long-ranged gear” alongside the previously confirmed “decoy holograms” (potentially referencing the B.T. hologram grenades) and silent takedowns. We’ve seen weapons like assault rifles and bolas launchers, but players will also utilize machine guns, shotguns, and grenade launchers.

Of course, with the Automated Porter Assistant System, you can improve Traits in four different categories. According to the page, these include reduced movement speed for stealth and enhanced fire rates for weapons. You’ll need to consume Memories for the same, and they’re limited.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach launches on June 26th for PS5. Head here for some extensive gameplay showcasing the new B.T.s and tactics.
