New Death Stranding 2 trailer features a familiar bandana and a weapon to legally surpass Metal Gear

A caller trailer for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has dropped. It puts a ten-minute dent into the upcoming unfastened satellite game's enigma, but the astir tantalising question inactive remains: is Kojima utilizing that subtitle to deliberately punctual everybody of the original's astir infamous scene? Bold prime if so, though not the lone one. Here's the trailer, implicit with acquainted mechs and precise acquainted bandanas. See Konami, this is what happens erstwhile you popular retired for 5 minutes to re-release Suikoden.

Alongside The Solitude of Prime Numbers's Luca Marinelli wearing a Snakely bandana and a Rex-reminiscent mech, the trailer besides has a console merchandise date: 26th June 2025, oregon 63 days earlier Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. This is astir capable clip for players unfamiliar with Kojima's works to prime up Death Stranding 2 connected a whim, decorativeness it, bargain Delta of retired curiosity, past deliberation "hey, this Snake feline is simply a full rip-off of Luca Marinelli's character!". A paratextual commentary connected identity, memory, and leader worship? Kojima you sly aged dog, you've done it again!

Shared arsenic portion of a sheet astatine SXSW, the trailer joins quality of an orchestral performance and a watch. Why, you could deterioration the ticker to the performance and gully attraction to yourself successful the queue by loudly asking "what clip does this happening start, anyway?!" and theatrically glaring astatine your wrist, past smarmily asking "oh, this aged thing?" astatine large measurement to no-one successful particular. You'd beryllium truly chill if you did that.

It took astir 8 months for Death Stranding to interruption console containment. If this follows suit, we mightiness good spot the sequel connected PC by the extremity of the year. I reckon we got the champion of some worlds with the original's precocious merchandise though: much clip to play different games, and a shiny Director's Cut to boot. I enjoyed it truthful overmuch I was compelled to spill words aplenty connected pizza.
