Reedus also addressed his initial confusion with the first game and his feelings heading into the sequel. He expressed a deep trust in the visionary creator Hideo Kojima, stating, "As far as working with him and understanding where his head’s at, I don’t think anybody can understand where his head’s at. He’s just that guy, he’s out there and he’s got great ideas. But story-wise, I did know what was happening more. There’s more action in it, there’s more of a definite goal to get to." This suggests that fans can expect a more action-packed and focused narrative in Death Stranding 2.
Despite the complexities and unique nature of the Death Stranding world, Reedus remains enthusiastic about his involvement. He shared, "It’s always a trip working on those things. It’s great, but it’s wild," indicating his enjoyment and anticipation for the project.
Mark your calendars, as Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is set to launch on June 26, 2025. Stay tuned for more updates and prepare for another unforgettable journey with Norman Reedus and the team at Kojima Productions.
