Even one of Death Stranding 2's leading actors has no clue what the sequel is about because Hideo Kojima isn't letting any details slip before the recording starts.
Earlier today, Hideo Kojima's 'HideoTube' returned to YouTube after a seven-year absence, featuring many notable faces from Death Stranding 2. One of those is the actor behind Sam Porter Bridges in the Japanese dub of the sequel, who reveals that he has no idea whatsoever about what's going on in the new game.
Around the 18-minute mark in the video above, Kojima and Tsuda begin discussing their work on the new game together. Kojima reveals that recording for the Japanese dub of Death Stranding 2 won't start until later this year and that recording for the Japanese dub of the original game took 18 months in total. It sounds like the pair might be pushed if they want the game to launch next year in 2025.
"No! I have no clue! I only know what I have seen in the trailer, just like everyone else," Tsuda responds when host Risa Unai asks whether the pair has discussed the story of the game. "There are more characters; I'm just keeping quiet about them," adds Kojima.
"There are so many lines, too," Kojima also highlights, indicating that Tsuda has his work cut out ahead of him. Kojima also mentions to Tsuda that he would "start to understand once you start recording," which is probably a good thing - it helps if an actor has an idea of what's actually going on around them.
So, after all that, it turns out we're just as in the dark as Death Stranding 2's star about what's actually going on in the sequel. We could be waiting a fair while for new information about the sequel if the release window of 2025 holds true.

A player has noted a similarity between Death Stranding 2: On The Beach’s DHV Magellan and Metal Gear REX from Metal Gear Solid. This potential Metal Gear Solid reference hidden within Death Stranding 2: On The Beach has sparked some conversations among fans about possible connections between Hideo Kojima's iconic franchises.
An established insider has hinted that Nintendo's next Direct will happen next week and will be a Partner Showcase rather than a traditional Direct, and has also claimed to reveal one of the games that will be showcased during the presentation.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will take place on a different continent than the previous game, Hideo Kojima has revealed. The famous video game designer confirmed this detail about his upcoming PlayStation exclusive as part of a recent interview that also saw him disclose some other information about Death Stranding 2.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach’s most recent trailer made it abundantly clear that the game, unlike its predecessor, isn’t going to be set in the United State of America (or the United Cities of America, as it’s known in Death Stranding’s fiction), but exactly how far away from that setting is the sequel going to take players? Mexico was mentioned a few times in the game’s trailer, so does that mean Sam and co. will still be somewhere in North America?
The newest trailer for is a fascinating window into the game, and it seems like star Norman Reedus shares that sentiment. As the actor who lends face, voice, and motion capture to the role of Sam Porter Bridges, Norman Reedus has one of the most direct windows into the world of that anyone besides director Hideo Kojima himself can boast. When it comes to the PlayStation State of Play trailer for the game, however, it seems like Reedus was in for some surprises of his own.
