It looks like Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2 is getting a release date soon, as leaks have claimed that various physical editions are being prepared. Based on this information, it looks like the game won’t be delayed and will be coming out later this year. Hopefully, we see gameplay for the sequel soon, just to see how current-gen this game is.
Billbil-kun broke the story in Dealabs Magazine, revealing that pre-orders for the Kojima sequel are planned to start soon. These various physical editions have been confirmed for America and Europe, so fans everywhere will be able to play this on disc. While no actual release date was leaked, fans should expect to see a major announcement for this game soon.
At the time of writing, this leak claims Death Stranding 2 will have a standard physical edition and the usual collector’s edition. Since this is a current-gen game, the standard edition will be a painful $70. Meanwhile, the collector’s edition will reportedly cost a whopping $229.99, which is your typical price for these versions, unfortunately.
Before the leak, we did get a trailer last year confirming that the Hideo Kojima game would be coming out in 2025. No dates were given, but fans were cautiously optimistic about the release of this sequel. If these leaks are to be believed, it seems that the release will be coming sooner than expected, which is a great thing.
Fans are curious to see just how different Death Stranding 2 will be when compared to its predecessor. The original game took a while to get going, with some fans even turning on it and not completing the game. However, the fans who did complete this game claim that it’s a pretty good experience that reignites hope in humanity, especially in these dark times.
With a Death Stranding movie from A24 eventually coming out, it will be interesting to see how this sequel affects things. Most gamers are just happy that it's happening to begin with.
