Attention all Death Stranding enthusiasts! Brace yourselves for an epic continuation of the saga as Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is slated to hit the shelves in June. The franchise's leading man, Norman Reedus, recently dropped some tantalizing hints about the upcoming game during an exclusive chat with IGN. But that's not all—Reedus also touched on the eagerly anticipated film adaptation of the game, which was announced last month by Michael Sarnoski and A24.
When quizzed about the possibility of reprising his role in the film, Reedus was enthusiastic but cautious. "If it was an option, yeah, for sure," he stated, adding, "I don’t know what’s happening with it. It’s so pre pre pre right now. But yeah, of course." It seems the film project is still in its infancy, but Reedus is definitely on board if given the chance.

We also delved into Reedus's experience with the original Death Stranding and whether he felt similarly bewildered heading into the sequel. However, it's clear that Reedus places immense trust in the visionary creator, Hideo Kojima. "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," Reedus shared. He praised Kojima's unique perspective and innovative ideas, noting that while the story of the sequel was clearer to him, it promises more action and a more defined goal.
No matter the twists and turns in the Death Stranding universe, Reedus remains thrilled to be part of the journey. "It’s always a trip working on those things," he remarked to IGN. "It’s great, but it’s wild."
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is set to launch on June 26, 2025. Get ready for another unforgettable adventure.
