Hideo Kojima's words about the development status of Death Stranding 2 are quoted by Famitsu, citing a recording of one of the recent podcasts featuring the game designer.
The game is now in the polishing phase, which will last about a year.
The cast has completed all filming for the game, as has the English-language voice acting.
According to Kojima, in the recent trailer he tried to emphasize the differences between Death Stranding 2 and the first installment, the connections between the characters, the main themes, and the new characters.
Death Stranding 2 is scheduled for release in 2025. It is possible that it will take place in the fall: the first part was released in November 2019.
