Overview

  • Death Stranding 2: On the Beach launched on June 26 exclusively for PlayStation 5 after early access began on June 24.
  • The adaptive score adds percussion when players sprint and introduces piano passages on alternative routes to mirror in-game actions.
  • A built-in music player functions like an on-demand device, enabling users to curate personal playlists from the pause menu.
  • Yoann Lemoine (Woodkid) and returning composer Ludvig Forssell led a three-year collaboration with Kojima Productions alongside contributions from Gen Hoshino and Caroline Polachek.
  • Musical themes were crafted to reflect the sequel’s focus on intimacy, fatherhood, grief, eco-anxiety and the bonds that connect characters.
