Death Stranding 2 ‘On the Beach’ Premiere: Kojima & Keighley Set to Unveil New Gameplay & Secrets!
Kojima Productions is pulling out all the stops to ensure Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is firmly embedded in our minds. Beyond a globe-trotting musical tour, a specially themed PlayStation 5 controller, and persistent buzz about potential movie and anime adaptations, the studio has now officially announced a dedicated Death Stranding 2 panel event streaming next month.
Mark your calendars: the Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Game Premiere event is slated to kick off Kojima Productions’ ambitious, months-long “world tour.” This promotional odyssey will see the team visit cities like Sydney, Paris, London, and Hong Kong, before concluding in Lucca this November.
The much-anticipated premiere event will launch on Sunday, June 8th, at 7 pm PDT in Los Angeles, California. Astute observers will note this timing aligns perfectly with the beginning of the Summer Game Fest season. And who better to host such an occasion than Summer Game Fest’s own Geoff Keighley? He’ll be taking the stage at Los Angeles’ historic Orpheum Theatre, joined by his close friend and the visionary creator of Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima.

The centerpiece of the event will be a panel discussion featuring Kojima himself alongside as-yet-unspecified “special guests.” But that’s not all – attendees and viewers can also look forward to a live demonstration of Death Stranding 2, offering another tantalizing peek at the game ahead of its June 26th release on PlayStation 5.
For those eager to witness the reveals, you have options: die-hard fans can attempt to secure tickets and attend in person. For the vast majority, the entire showcase will be streamed live on YouTube. UK fans should note this means a late night, with the stream starting at 3 am BST on Monday, June 9th, so catching up later might be preferable for some.
With so much activity surrounding the franchise, the big question remains: will Death Stranding 2 live up to the colossal hype? Eurogamer’s Ed Nightingale, after an early preview, offered many insights. However, his most potent observation might be: “So far, [Death Stranding 2] feels like the most Kojima-game yet.”
Prepare for new revelations, deeper insights, and potentially some signature Kojima surprises as the “On the Beach” premiere brings us one step closer to the mysterious world of Death Stranding 2.
