Three titles are visible in the picture, with the first being of the sequel to Kojima's strand title. The box art image features Fragile holding a baby close to herself with an ominous red light shining upon her. The word "DS2" can be seen with the word PS5 written on top. One will also be quick to note that the release period of the long-awaited sequel is set for 2024.

The teaser trailer that was revealed at The Game Awards 2022 prominently focused on Fragile, played by Lea Seydoux, playing with a baby at the beginning of the clip. Soon chaos breaks out and she is seen dashing out of the settlement while hiding from assailants.

The trailer is peppered with various cinematic shots that Hideo Kojima fans are well acquainted with. An aged Sam Bridges, played by Norman Reedus, finally showed up at the end of the trailer with Fragile on his side. A new organization logo is also showcased, mentioning "Drawbridge: Both stick and rope, To protect and connect. Together. For tomorrow."

It is likely going to be some time before fans again hear about Death Stranding 2 or receive a new trailer for it, especially if the aforementioned release year is correct. It must also be noted that the entry for Death Stranding 2 on the artist's Art Station profile has been removed as of now
