In Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, embark on an inspiring mission of human connection beyond the UCA.

Sam—with companions by his side—sets out on a new journey to save humanity from extinction. Join them as they traverse a world beset by otherworldly enemies, obstacles and a haunting question: should we have connected? Step by step, legendary game creator Hideo Kojima changes the world once again.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach sees Norman Reedus, Léa Seydoux, and Troy Baker return to Hideo Kojima’s genre defying universe. They will be joined by Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna, and Academy Award-winning film director George Miller.

Hideo Kojima is joined by longtime collaborator Yoji Shinkawa who will direct character and mechanical design, with Ludvig Forssell and Kyle Cooper reprising their roles as musical director and title designer, respectively.


Kojima Productions hosted a special panel for Death Stranding 2: On The Beach at this year’s SXSW in Austin, Texas. Hideo Kojima was joined by Norman Reedus, Troy Baker and Woodkid.

A Message From Hideo Kojima
I’m truly delighted that the music of “Death Stranding” has resonated with fans worldwide, making this world concert tour a reality.
Music accounts for 80% of what moves people emotionally. In “Death Stranding,” it plays a crucial role in shaping the atmosphere of the game and evoking players’ emotions.
I hope that the songs, whether they are songs that play in moments of solitude or ones that evoke cinematic spectacle, I hope that they will touch your hearts.

A Message from Ludvig Forssell
"It's an honor and a privilege to be part of, and to have the music of Death Stranding reach a live audience. Death Stranding's music stretches from intimate ballads, to synthwave, all the way to climactic orchestral anthems and I can't wait to bring this eclectic musical experience to life with arrangements aimed to elevate each piece in a full orchestral setting. I also hope that we will be able to take you on a journey along with Sam Porter Bridges as the story and music evolves from the first installment to its sequel."

Limited-edition Hamilton Watch

Kojima Productions, in collaboration with heritage horologists Hamilton, have produced a limited-edition watch, modelled on the in-game timepiece worn by Neil in Death Stranding 2: On The Beach. The above newly release pre-order trailer offers a glimpse of the watch in-game. The American Classic Boulton Death Stranding 2 Limited Edition is set to release in June in line with the release of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach for PlayStation®5.  

Made possible by legendary art director Yoji Shinkawa, the futuristic, Boulton-inspired Limited Edition reflects the techno-apocalyptic environment of DEATH STRANDING. Design cues are seen in the sleek, arching lines of the titanium case with black PVD treatment. Combining durability with a rugged yet refined look, titanium reduces the case’s weight by 45 percent and is highly resistant to saltwater corrosion. For more details visit hamiltonwatch.com full technical specifications below. 

The watch features seven sapphire crystals: one primary viewing window with two columns of three on each side of the case. Minimalist grey indicators on the face are set off with a contrasting orange lacquered seconds hand and 12 o’clock index. Looped hour and minute hands reference the sapphire design and bring lightness to the face. The three-hand automatic 25-jewel movement features an 80-hour power reserve while a Nivachron™ balance spring offers enhanced resistance to magnetic fields, changes in temperature and shocks.  

Limited to just 2,000 pieces with individual case back numbering, the watch features collectable packaging inspired by narrative elements from the game as well as a bespoke cleaning cloth unique to the collaboration.
