In the same interview, Reedus addressed his understanding of the game's complex narrative. While he admitted to feeling a bit lost with the first game, his trust in the visionary creator Hideo Kojima remains unwavering. "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. "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."

Despite the intricacies and unpredictability of the Death Stranding world, Reedus remains enthusiastic about his involvement. "It’s always a trip working on those things," he shared. "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. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated sequel and the intriguing film adaptation on the horizon.
