Reedus also touched on his experience with the first game and his anticipation for the second. Despite the complexity of Hideo Kojima's vision, Reedus expressed a deep trust in the creator. "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," he remarked. "He’s just that guy, he’s out there and he’s got great ideas. But story-wise, I did know what was happening more. There’s more action in it, there’s more of a definite goal to get to."

No matter the twists and turns in the Death Stranding universe, Reedus is thrilled to be part of the journey. "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 set to launch on June 26, 2025. Stay tuned for more updates on this thrilling sequel and the potential film adaptation!
