What is Death Stranding 2: On the Beach?

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach continues the story 11 months after the birth of the UCA, in a world now connected and with automated deliveries. A new faction emerges, and the narrative delves into the consequences of connectivity. True to Hideo Kojima's style, the game is filled with surreal elements, including a character reminiscent of Solid Snake. Here's the official description from the PlayStation Store:

“Embark on an inspiring mission of human connection beyond the UCA.

“Sam—with companions by his side—sets out on a new journey to save humanity from extinction.

“Join them as they traverse a world beset by otherworldly enemies, obstacles and a haunting question: should we have connected?

“Step by step, legendary game creator Hideo Kojima changes the world once again.”
