Reedus also touched on his initial confusion with the first game and how his understanding has evolved as they approach the sequel. He expressed unwavering trust in the game's creator, Hideo Kojima, saying, "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."
Despite the complexities and unpredictability of the Death Stranding world, Reedus remains enthusiastic about his involvement, noting, "It’s always a trip working on those things. It’s great, but it’s wild."
Mark your calendars, as Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is set to launch on June 26, 2025. Get ready for another thrilling journey through the enigmatic world crafted by Hideo Kojima.
