Kojima Studios has submitted its highly anticipated action-adventure game Death Stranding 2: Beach to Sony Interactive Entertainment for certification, and the development team is still dealing with a few minor vulnerabilities.
According to the latest episode of Kojima Radio, game director Hideo Kojima revealed that as of mid-April 2025, the game completion rate remained at 95%. Due to the emergence of a large number of subtle loopholes, development has entered the final repair stage.
Kojima said the studio has submitted the first certified version to Sony that has undergone preliminary vulnerability detection, and he is confident that the development work is close to completion.The director, known for his perfectionism, emphasized that he hopes that the game will be released in a "zero loophole", but also admitted that as an open-world work, some minor flaws (such as suspended vegetation or abnormal rendering of some scenes) are inevitable, but none of these will affect the core game experience.
Hideo Kojima has been busy with the final work of "Death Stranding 2: The Beach". He was originally planned to complete development before the program is broadcast on May 5, 2025, but the minor repairs will continue until the game is officially released.Considering that players of the luxury version will be unlocked in advance on June 24, the physical version may be leaked in advance according to industry practice, Kojima specifically recommends that players must install the first-day patch for the best experience.
The game media preview will be officially lifted on May 8, 2025. This sequel that continues the concept of "connecting humans" will soon meet players around the world after polishing and improving.
