Attention all Death Stranding enthusiasts! Get ready for an exhilarating journey as the highly anticipated sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, is slated to hit the shelves in June. The star of the franchise, actor Norman Reedus, recently provided some tantalizing insights into the game and even dropped a hint about the upcoming film adaptation during an interview with IGN.
When asked about the possibility of playing himself in the future film version of the game, which is being developed by Michael Sarnoski and A24, Reedus enthusiastically responded, "If it was an option, yeah, for sure. I don’t know what’s happening with it. It’s so pre pre pre right now. But yeah, of course."
We also delved into Reedus's experience with the original game and whether he still felt confused as he approached the sequel. He expressed his unwavering trust in the game's 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."
No matter the intricacies of the Death Stranding universe, Reedus is thrilled to be part of the adventure. "It’s always a trip working on those things," he shared with IGN. "It’s great, but it’s wild."
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is set to launch on June 26, 2025. Stay tuned for more updates on this thrilling sequel and the film adaptation!
