What is Death Stranding 2: On the Beach?

*Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* is a direct sequel set 11 months after the birth of the UCA, where the world has been connected, deliveries automated, and a new faction is emerging. Hideo Kojima's signature style brings a blend of otherworldly enemies, haunting questions, and a narrative that challenges the very notion of connection. Here’s the official description from the PlayStation Store:

“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.”
