While we are not sure when DS2 may arrive on other platforms, Death Stranding released on the PS4 in 2019, on Windows in 2020, and on Xbox Series X|S in 2024.

The roughly 10-minute-long trailer gives players a peek at DS2's story and the sights that will greet them. This includes clips of Sam and Lou together, new characters like Neil played by Luca Marinelli (with a quick Metal Gear Solid's Snake reference), and otherworldly figures like the Magellan Man.
