During the interview, Reedus also discussed his experience with the first game and his anticipation for the sequel. He expressed a deep trust in the game's creator, Hideo Kojima, saying, "As far as working with him and understanding where his head’s at, I don’t think anybody can understand where his head’s at.

Reedus noted that he had a better understanding of the story in the sequel and mentioned that it features more action and a clearer goal.

Despite the complexity of the Death Stranding universe, Reedus remains enthusiastic about his involvement. "It’s always a trip working on those things," he shared with IGN. "It’s great, but it’s wild."

Mark your calendars, as Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is scheduled for release on June 26, 2025. Get ready for another thrilling journey into the world of Death Stranding.
