Hideo Kojima Unveils Death Stranding 2 Trailer at Summer Game Fest

LOS ANGELES, CA — Hideo Kojima took the stage at the Summer Game Fest on June 6, 2025, to reveal a new trailer for his highly anticipated game, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. The trailer features Neil, a key character played by Luca Marinelli, engaging in a tense dialogue with Lucy, portrayed by Alissa Jung.

The relationship between Geoff Keighley, the event’s host, and Kojima is well-known. This year, Kojima surprised fans with the trailer but left many questions unanswered, refusing to give hints just days before the game’s release.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is set to launch exclusively for PlayStation 5 on June 26, 2025. Fans looking forward to the sequel can find the trailer at the end of the event recap.

In addition to Kojima’s presentation, the Summer Game Fest showcased unexpected surprises, including the announcement of Code Vein 2 by Bandai Namco. The sequel to the critically acclaimed action game from 2019 promises to build on its predecessor’s success.

Code Vein 2 is expected to be released next year on PC and consoles, with the announcement trailer featuring impressive new artistic designs, particularly among the game’s enemies.
