But hey, that’s part of the charm, right? If you haven’t played the first game or watched some explainer videos on YouTube, you’re in for a mind-bending treat!
The Mystery Behind “On the Beach”
Now, let’s dive into the intriguing title of this sequel. What’s the deal with “On the Beach”? Are we in for some Xtreme Beach Volleyball-style shenanigans between delivery missions with Norman Reedus, Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna, and Léa Seydoux lounging around in beachwear? As much as we’d love to see that, it’s unlikely.
According to Kojima’s social media, he has expressed his love for the 1959 film “On the Beach.” This movie delved into the nuclear anxieties of the Cold War era and confronted the harsh realities of a potential nuclear armageddon. Ah, now it makes sense! It seems that Kojima drew inspiration from this film, and we can only imagine how it will shape the narrative and atmosphere of Death Stranding 2. It’s like blending two different forms of art into one epic gaming experience!
Kojima also revealed that he had initially written a story for Death Stranding 2 before the coronavirus pandemic, but he tore it up and started from scratch after 2020. Strangely enough, Death Stranding became a game that resonated deeply with many players during and after the lockdowns and isolation forced upon us by the pandemic. It’s incredible how art imitates life, isn’t it?
