Death Stranding 2: On the Beach – TGS 2024 special stage event summary, footage

Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Kojima Productions shared new information and footage for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach during a special stage event at Tokyo Game Show 2024, including character names and Japanese voice actors, an in-game photo shoot event, and an in-game performance by Daichi Miura.

Get the new details below.

■ Character Names and Japanese Voice Actors

Tarman (portrayed by George Miller, voiced by Mitsuru Miyamoto in Japanese)

Dollman (portrayed by Fatih Akin, voiced by Tomokazu Sugita in Japanese)

Tomorrow (portrayed by Eli Fanning), voiced by Shion Wakayama in Japanese)

Rainy (portrayed and voiced by Shioli Kutsuna)

■ Photo Shoot Event

A “Photo Shoot Event” in which the player can photograph the characters with an instant camera was shown off. (A separate “Photo Mode” will also be available.) Death Stranding 2: On the Beach director Hideo Kojima suggested that while this may seem like a fun-only element, it does have some influence on the story. “It would be better to take good pictures,” he said.

■ “Horizon Dreamer” Performed by Daichi Miura

By doing a certain action in the game’s Private Room, you can watch an event where Daichi Miura, alongside a group of Dollman, performs a new song and dance created for the game. The song, “Horizon Dreamer,” will be available via music streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify starting September 30.

■ Release Date

At the end of the event, Kojima commented on the release date, stating, “While we haven’t announced the release date yet, we naturally already have one set. The plans are in place. Although production is progressing towards that goal, there are various factors that could affect the timing of the release… We’ve said 2025, so it will come out next year. The release date will be announced sometime next year.”

He continued, “Development isn’t done yet, but I feel confident, and it’s turning out to be an even weirder game than the first one. We’re making it with the sense of, ‘Is there really a game like this out there?'”

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is due out for PlayStation 5 in 2025.
